Sedgefield Island Conservancy

Projects

The Conservancy has a 4-year vision that is updated annually, resulting in annual projects supporting the vision. Here are some of our major projects:

The Wild Areas and Trails: Completing the trails in the Enviro Gardens are the top priority. This includes cutting new trail in the western Enviro Garden and trail maintenance.
The Perdespriut Bird Island must be completed by adding height and creating verticalnestingspots for the colonial birds.
Education events and Information: Traditionally all events hve an educational element - this will be continued. We are starting a process of implementing interpretative elements to the trails and other areas of the Island. An Info Centre concept, tied tointerpretative elements, is being defined.
Invasive Species Management: The never-ending job of removing invasive plants, especially trees, will be tackled in 5 hacks each year. These are done with support from the Municipality and members.
Indigenous Flora: We continue toencourage residents to plant locally indegenous and to creat verge gardens as havens and feeding places for Island fauna.
Toilets: Our massive success with the first toilets indicates that a third toilet is needed and that more permanent soilutions should be identified.
Signage around the Island has created visual polution. We must reduce our own siganage without losing effectiveness as well as looking for ways of reducing signage overall
We are building a Knowledge Base with information such as pest control, rules around protected species, etc.
