Metropolitan Local Aboriginal Land Council (MLALC) owns land in Narrabeen Lagoon Catchment
and has successfully applied for funding to pay for people to remove weeds and protect Aboriginal sites of significance.
MLALC is employing a qualified Aboriginal Bush Regenerator as the Culture & Land Officer for MLALC.
Aboriginal young people working under supervision by MLALC’s trained bush regnerator are working on weed control – removing Whisky Grass, Pampas Grass and African Love grass from Metropolitan Local Aboriginal Land Council land.
This is important work – stopping weed seeds from being carried across from this land to other nearby bushland in the catchment of Narrabeen Lagoon.
Some areas need to be protected from recreational users such as bush walkers, horse riders, mountain bike riders or motor bike riders because there are endangered species present or because there are sites of Aboriginal heritage importance.
We trust that once people realise there are good reasons for closing some areas to recreational use, that they will respect this and work with MLALC to improve the biodiversity of the area and to protect significant sites for the generations to come.
