The Hindmarsh Island Landcare Group collects seed from remnant indigenous vegetation on the island, propagates using this seed, then raises and plants out in appropriate places on the island. The group has its own nursery, which is part of Ferrymans Reserve, an Alexandrina Council reserve. An arboretum is being established here. It also uses the Alexandrina Council Community Nursery on the mainland, which being on mains water is used to irrigate island plants that are salt sensitive.
