Bushland Eco-Award Winner for Northern Beaches

Congratulations to Sharon Kinnison

Congratulations to our own Sharon Kinnison for being chosen as the winner for the Bushland category of the inaugural Northern Beaches Council EcoAwards.

Sharon has lived on the Island for over 30 years, and has worked tirelessly to help the environment here and on the mainland. She has led and laboured on many, many works in Catherine Park: ongoing bush regeneration, the construction of the waterfront stone gardens, many plantings, visits by Floating Landcare volunteers, applying for and implementing several grants addressing stormwater in the catchment with practical works on the roads and park itself.

Sharon has been a member of the SIRA committee for most of the last 30 years, as well as the Fire Brigade and Landcare, attending countless meetings with Council staff and others to negotiate the best outcome for Island roads, drainage, wastewater and bushland. Her “Keeping the soil on the island” grant led to works which significantly reduced the sediment erosion into the bay at Tennis Wharf.

Through her work at the Coastal Environment Centre, Sharon developed the very popular “Our Coast” program for schools, taking thousands of children onto the rock platform, around the lagoon and through local bushland. With numerous Streamwatch activities, Sharon led water testing of the creeks flowing into Narrabeen Lagoon and McCarr’s Creek to monitor their health. Sharon has inspired so many people to care more deeply and effectively for our natural environment.

And being Sharon, what she would really like more than anything else is that you gave the bush a hand by attending Bushcare – even a short burst is appreciated. A very few dedicated volunteers work with Sharon to keep Catherine Park beautiful for all of us, preserving our native plants from the onslaught of introduced weeds.
