Fingal Spit

Our partnership with Tweed Byron Local Aboriginal Land Council has seen us help deliver a number of project together from the Aboriginal Lands Clean up Program (NSW Environmental Trust and Environment Protection Aurtority funding). to the Protecting our Places program (Environmental Trust funding). Fingal is a special place and through the over use and illegal uses such as dumping and access it is a constant battle to bring the bush back.
