07.01.2022 Vibrant Spaces for a Vibrant Future: Youth Express has partnered with Karuah Landcare Group, Litoria Ecological Restoration Services and Port Stephens Council to revegetate and plant native grasses along the Karuah foreshore. Stage 1 was completed on the 3rd of November, 2020. With stage 2 to commence in 2021.

The pilot project will create a framework to link community partners in creating lasting change whilst supporting young people gain skills needed as part of their career journey. It is a community response in time of COVID to collaborate, and create a vibrant space for future generations. Outcomes from the project will support the Karuah community by: Stabilising soil on steep embankments to reduce sediment contributions to the Karuah River estuary Reduce ongoing maintenance by Council and RMS in the form of slashing and blanket spraying of herbicide Dramatically improve the aesthetics of the Karuah River foreshore Provide increased foraging opportunities for local fauna Restore part of Karuah’s natural heritage.

We would like to offer our deepest thanks to Litoria, who has donated Managing Director Aaron Crotty and Cheryl Crotty as site supervisors and lead mentors.
