When Samantha Kerr started the Friends of Sturt River Landcare group more than a decade ago, it was just herself and three other people. Since then, 1200 volunteers have been involved in the group, which has 'adopted' eight different sites across the Holdfast Bay and Marion council areas. In that time, they've completely transformed the council-owned reserves - all of which have a connection to the Sturt River (Warripari). Most of the reserves were just "turf and trees". Today, they're thriving ecosystems that are filled with local natives, of both the flora and fauna varieties.
