A Green Revolution
Before the Creery Wetlands became a reserve, recreational vehicles used the area, crushing the vegetation and compacting the soil.

As part of the development of the area, rubbish has been removed (including more than 20 car wrecks), the reserve has been fenced and is being rehabilitated.

Revegetation
Compacted soil is ripped to allow the roots of plants to find their way down to the water. The areas are then seeded with a range of local native species or planted with seedlings.

Fragile Foliage
So far, six different types of samphire have been identified on the reserve and more may be discovered as botanists continue their studies. Boardwalks have been built over regenerating samphire flats to provide access to visitors without crushing the delicate plants
