WILDCARE Deslacs

A citizen science working bee to conduct dog poo mapping, counting and collection along the Clifton Beach Coastal Reserve and southern beach of Pipe Clay Lagoon Coastal Reserve (Bicheno Street). The results will be used to raise awareness of the problem and help change the behaviour of dog owners.

This is a Clean Up Australia activity, with a focus on the three reserved lands at Clifton Beach: the Clifton Beach Coastal Reserve, Pipe Clay Lagoon Coastal Reserve, and Cape Deslacs Nature Reserve.

The Cape Deslacs Nature Reserve contains perched dune fields of national significance. The resident colony of Short-tailed Shearwater (Tasmanian Muttonbird) is estimated to support 8,000 burrows, and is protected by Tasmanian legislation. Wildcare Deslacs undertakes a range of activities, including weed control and feral animal trapping, to protect these natural values.
