Subscriber only Fishing conservation charity OzFish Unlimited recently planted 360 native trees on the Brunswick River to revegetate the riverbanks bordering two properties along Main Arm Road. OzFish volunteers worked with community groups Brunswick Valley Landcare and Replant Byron to help reinvigorate the local ecosystem and improve habitat for native fish. Native trees and shrubs planted included lilly pilly, sandpaper fig and lomandra, which will stabilise eroded areas and enhance the overall health and habitat values for native fish populations and other wildlife. OzFish North Coast NSW Project Officer, Daniela Wilken-Jones highlighted the importance planting trees have to the overall health of the river system.
