We are improving the native vegetation of 47 hectares (3 kms) along Devilbend Creek, adjacent to the Devilbend Reservoir. Over four years we are removing weeds and planting new native plants. These works will protect the waterway from erosion and improve habitat for native plants and animals such as the Dwarf Galaxias, Southern Toadlet and Eastern Long-necked Turtle.
