Jetty Dunecare volunteers have worked for almost 40 years to care for the Jetty Foreshore and were shocked and saddened to discover the large holes in the sand where the Pandanus had been. Dunecare volunteers propagated, planted and nurtured these Pandanus which were over 2meters tall, to enhance the ecological values of the dunes, and for public benefit to beautify the walkway environment.
This iconic species is very slow growing so have taken over 15years to reach this size and are prized for use in coastal landscaping.
