fossil bluff project
|
There are two sites that Wynyard Landcare (WL) is managing in the area; one at the Freestone Cove esplanade and one on top of Fossil Bluff paleo site.
|
Every project starts somewhere. Fossil Bluff is an outcrop near the Inglis River Estuary and is Wynyard's iconic fossil site, attracting many visitors. It is situated at Freestone Cove next to the Wynyard Golf Course and the Inglis River. It was historically cleared for agriculture and grazing at various times. Wynyard Landcare works with Parks and Wildlife and the Waratah Wynyard Council to restore the natural vegetation and to encourage mammals and wildlife to return to the area.
