This is your chance to get involved in climate action by getting some native plants into the ground! Clearwater Cove Reserve is a great place to visit, and will be made all the more special when you can watch the trees you planted grow, year after year! The plants you put in the ground this season will strengthen the precious native ecosystem, stabilise coastal edges, provide habitat to local wildlife, beautify the community, and capture carbon from our atmosphere.
