Frankston City Council

North Reserve is 15 hectares of former quarry land. This planting site is under rehabilitation and not currently accessible to the public. This year's National Tree Day site aims to establish pioneer plantings at the reserve to build and nourish the soil making it more habitable for other species to succeed. The plants selected for planting with be hardy, fast growing and densely planted (including for example coast tea-tree, Kangaroo apple and Boobialla). These plants will aid in building up the leaf litter and encouraging beneficial invertebrates that are essential for healthy soil. They will then make way for a second stage of planting with species that are more representative of remnant vegetation community. This site is surrounded by high quality vegetation that provides important habitat to species such as Swamp Skink, Southern Toadlet, Wallabies and Koalas.
