Tree work in Belmont
Disturbed dunes beside the wetlands
Dredge mining for minerals worked the dunes now in Belmont Wetlands State Park between the late 1950s and 1967. Sand extraction for building followed from the mid 1970s and left large tracts of degraded land.
Disturbed sand like that holds roots poorly, and the vegetation growing back on it is young. Trees on blocks near the wetland edge are worth checking for lean.

Belmont questions
A lagoon that turned salty
Why is Belmont Lagoon salty?
During World War II, Cold Tea Creek was cut as an anti-tank ditch to the lake, splitting the lagoon and letting saline water into the once fresh water lagoon. Trees that suited fresh ground at its edge have had to cope with salt since.
How much rain can the area take in a storm?
In the June 2007 east coast low, Newcastle had 164.6 mm of rain falling in 6 hours. Waterlogged ground is when shallow rooted trees tip over.
Who looks after wetland trees?
The state park manages its own trees. Private yards beside it are the owner's to look after.
