As a certified bush regenerator (Cert III, TAFE NSW) and member of the Australian Association of Bush Regenerators, I bring decades of experience to the restoration of native landscapes.
For the past 39 years, I’ve led the regeneration of Bombo Headland—once a severely degraded, weed-infested site—into a thriving coastal forest, rich in native biodiversity and much loved by both wildlife and locals. This long-term work with Landcare Illawarra and the community has shown the power of patient, well-informed restoration.
I now work on a range of private properties, focusing on the careful removal of invasive weeds like Lantana to support the natural recovery of native species. For sites where native vegetation has been lost, I can design and deliver replanting strategies tailored to the site and its natural ecosystem.
I also supply high-quality native plants for bush regeneration and restoration, particularly species suited to Illawarra Rainforest. All plants come from local provenance stock, either grown in my own nursery or sourced through trusted local networks.
If you’re looking to restore bushland on your property or project site, talk to me.
