The muddy water around the Leigh coastline was a sign that the recent heavy rainfall had caused significant damage in the area.¬† Unfortunately our restoration project was not left unscathed.¬† Two large slips on Sir Duncan McMullin‚Äôs property buried at least 50 of the wetland plants planted last Autumn.¬† Thankfully, the planted slopes were not affected, although one slip on the unplanted side of the valley exposed a large area of greywacke so we won’t need to plant anything there! ¬† Another slip on our property took out some of the steps and a number of native trees on one of the recently formed walkways.¬† Several large slips have also occurred along the main stream.¬† We won‚Äôt be planning any clean up until the soil has settled and we have a better idea of the new course of the streams which have, in some areas, been altered by the slips.
