At Regen Nursery, we’re proud to be part of an extraordinary restoration project at Cannons Creek on Western Port, where decades of imported fill had buried more than 17 hectares of saltmarsh and native grassland.
Our contribution began with collecting seed and cuttings on site under permit, then propagating the native plants needed to help restore this coastal ecosystem.
Working alongside and , our teams propagated more than 170,000 plants for the restoration of 16.8 hectares, including 10.5 hectares of Coastal Saltmarsh.
It was a special opportunity to work with species we rarely grow, including Beaded Glasswort, Austral Seablite and Australian Salt-grass.
Three years on, Biosis Pty Ltd reports the results are beautiful: native vegetation is flourishing, plants are naturally regenerating and w**d cover is very low.
This recovery reflects the commitment of landholder Micheal Valenti and a dedicated team of restoration specialists, ecologists and council staff.
There’s more care ahead, but we love seeing these plants take root and help bring a saltmarsh back to life.
