Restoration at Clarkes Beach
Dune Building Weed Eradication Revegetation
Background The eastern end of Clarkes beach was not included in the extensive dune rebuilding program that followed erosive storms of 1999. Despite 5 years of sand accumulation following erosion, the profile of the beach remained simplified as a flat sand sheet with a single steep dune. The dune featured some large remnant coastal rainforest trees but had otherwise succumbed to infestation by exotic weed Bitou Bush ( below left)
