As part of the Connected Communities Program, Conversation Volunteers Australia and representatives from multinational manufacturer Boral turned out to Little Beach on Wednesday, May 15 to revitalise a kilometre-long patch of vegetation.

"The program provides a creative, fun and engaging way for students and community groups to learn about their local environment," Conservation Volunteers Australia chief executive officer Phil Harrison said.

"With the support of Boral these conservation projects become a reality leaving a lasting legacy for everyone to enjoy."

Boral provided support to the rehabilitation of the foreshore at Little Beach, which is found on the southern side of Stockton, looking across the river mouth to Nobbys Lighthouse.

Volunteers carried out maintenance work on a patch of new vegetation, which is one in a series of foreshore plantings by Newcastle City Council and local Stockton community groups during the past three years.

The planting project is part of the ongoing efforts to restore and rehabilitate the area.

Boral's group health, safety and environment director, Michael Wilson, said the company has partnered with Conservation Volunteers Australia since 1988.

He said Boral's work on May 15 was part of its ongoing commitment to partner with community groups in the region to make a contribution to environmental conservation and education.

"We are delighted to have celebrated over 30 years of partnership with Conservation Volunteers Australia, our longest-standing community partner, which reflects our long-term commitment to supporting the communities in which we operate," Mr Wilson said.
