Cowes Coastcare Group
Cowes Coastcare Group was established in Feb 2022.
Our Initial project is to eradicate Sea spurge on Cowes foreshore. Our 1st year has been very successful with the help of great community volunteers. Achieving this goal of eradication will take ongoing follow up over a number of years .
Our plan is to also branch out into other weed species with involvement and education of community and replanting as needed.
Coordinator contacts are: Heather Liney 0414880146; Marilyn Shaw 0400176096
