Melbourne Water worked with the Friends of Edithvale-Seaford Wetland to select plant species and planting locations to create shade for walkers and joggers, enhance biodiversity and retain lines of sight across the area.
As part of this project, supported by Kingston City Council, they planted:
- 200 native trees (Australian Oaks, Peppermints and Manna Gums) along paths connecting a local bus stop with our Wetland Education Centre
- 4,000 native shrubs to provide habitat for birds.
