Garibaldi Landcare Group was formed in 2000 with the purpose of restoring public and private land in the Durham Lead and Garibaldi areas. GLG looks after three areas of public land: Garibaldi Bridge Reserve, South Durham Bridge Reserve and Hardies Hill Reserve.

Our Landcare activities over the years have led to substantial land restoration, particularly at Garibaldi Bridge and South Durham Bridge where severe river bank erosion and weed infestation in the early 2000s have been replaced by now established riparian zones and cleared areas for picnics and walks.

GLG focuses on:

• Propagating trees, shrubs, grasses, wetlands vegetation and wildflowers for members and Reserves.
• Weed control across all three Reserves targeting: gorse, blackberries, hemlock, spiny rush and herbaceous weeds.
• Reserve plantings and track maintenance.
• Supporting members with Landcare activities on their properties.
