Between the NSW
South Coast centres of Wollongong and Nowra is Coomonderry Lagoon.
Coomonderry Swamp, Shoalhaven Heads, is a large freshwater swamp supporting a range
of bird species and the threatened Green and Golden Bell Frog.
The area
surrounding Coomonderry Wetland contains large areas of coastal dune
forest on an ancient sand barrier.
The area
supports a diverse range of arboreal mammals, migratory birds, reptiles
and frog species, including the threatened green and golden bell frog.
Coomonderry
Wetland comprises the largest freshwater wetland and the largest remaining
area of littoral rainforest on the south coast.
The team will
focus on bush regeneration techniques, and helping the wetland to recover
from various human impacts such as nutrient run off and unmanaged cattle
grazing.
