THE STREAM COMES TO LIFEThe focal point of Cowaramup Country’s vital open space is its gentle living stream which meanders its way through the first stages of the land release. The stream has been anything but peaceful in recent weeks, with extensive plantings by local children and landscaping contractors ensuring the stream replicates a thriving local creek system.
The result is remarkable, with over 30,000 locally-grown indigenous plant species being located to the area.
Plantings began with enthusiastic students from Cowaramup Primary School casting off their shoes and rolling up their sleeves to plant 1360 reeds on a sunny afternoon late in August. The living stream project links in with the school’s recent studies of river models, including water quality and water pollutants.
Allan Dornan from Cowaramup Primary School said the project gives children a hands on experience and that Cowaramup Country’s ‘living streams’ concept will be a focus of their studies.
