Following a successful trial of 50 native plants in 2018, a further 150 trees, shrubs and vines were planted as part of Rapid Creek Landcare Group's Focus on the Lower Catchment project. 11 keen members turned up to help which was great considering it was early Sunday on a long weekend and it had poured rain all night. The rain stopped almost on cue at 7.30am.

In addition to the new plantings work has been undertaken to remove coffee bush and other invasive species from along the western verge of the mangroves from the mouth of Rapid Creek upstream to Trower Road. Both of these habitat restoration works have been supported by funding from the NT Recreational Fisheries Grant Scheme.
