The staff members planted 180 mangroves donated by Shoalhaven Riverwatch, and erected a fence to protect the mangroves from being covered with ribbon grass while they are establishing. Ray White Real Estate are setting a challenge to other local businesses who might like to get involved in caring for our local river. |
