Sea spurge removal with Savills

Earlier this year we hosted a team of volunteers from Savills for a Sea Spurge removal activity at Little Salmon Bay. 

The hard-working volunteers enjoyed some stunning views as they meticulously combed the dunes and rocky coastline, uprooting many huge well-established sea spurge bushes and removing the smaller new sprouts. After several hours of work, the team managed to clear the entire beach of Sea Spurge - an amazing outcome!  

Volunteer days like this make a huge conservation impact on the Rottnest Island, clearing beaches and bays of this coastal weed and providing space for native flora to grow.  

Our thanks to the RIA Environmental and Ranger teams for their brilliant briefing and co-ordination, and for furthering our understanding of the challenges sea spurge presents on Rottnest Island and for providing an opportunity to help.
