| Myuna Park Bushcare Group - Bulimba | Myuna Street Park, 127 Lytton Road, Bulimba |
The Myuna Park Bushcare group consists of a large group of dedicated volunteers. They are committed to restoring a highly compromised site to its former dry rainforest/wet sclerophyll vegetation community. The site contains a gully with an ephemeral channel system that flows into the Brisbane River to the north. The group will progressively remove high priority weed vine species from the canopy and groundcover stratums. They will also slowly remove low, mid storey and canopy shrub/tree weed species. A staged approach will ensure the existing weed vegetation continues to provide habitat to the diverse range of fauna seen at the site. This will give native vegetation a chance to regenerate and be planted. This allows a gradual but progressive transformation with the long term objective of increasing the diversity of the site.
