Wahroonga Waterways Landcare

Wahroonga Waterways Landcare Wahroonga Waterways Landcare is a volunteer program run by the Adventist church. We also work in the Lane Cove NP and on council lands.

It works primarily in an E2 Environmental Conservation Zone owned by the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Wahroonga. In 2008, the San Hospital at Wahroonga was working through a redevelopment application. Concerns were raised by the community about the treatment of the nearby bushland. The Federal Government decided that the bushland was to be protected, due to its high conservation values, and the

area was zoned 'E2 Environmental Conservation'. In 2012, Adventist Aged Care secured the tender to manage the bush. The bush management team quickly realised that the community should be engaged with the bush, and established Wahroonga Waterways Landcare. Ten years later, the group is still working hard to restore the bushland around Coups Creek. Its educational tours and lessons for students and the local community have proven to be very popular. With the community's help, Wahroonga Waterways Landcare has been able to develop project plans to tackle degraded areas of the bush.

We arrived on site yesterday to find the Centella asiatica with these cute little droplets on their outside edges. It is amazing the way that the microscopic structures within the leaves cause the water to bead in this way.
