Houses tucked into forest north of the river
Cow Bay is rainforest country. Nearby Jindalba has picnic tables nestled in dense lowland rainforest at the foot of Mount Alexandra, and that national park is never part of a private job.
Council has approved a nursery that aims to grow 150,000 native plants per year in Cow Bay to help restore the Daintree. Douglas Shire calls removal of a tree the last resort, so pruning is weighed first.

Cow Bay questions
Green waste and the local transfer station
Why were there limits at the Cow Bay transfer station?
An electric ant incursion north of the Daintree River was detected at the site and brought temporary restrictions. Green waste from electric ant areas must be declared to staff at Douglas Shire transfer stations.
What happened to the station after the flood?
It reopened for residential disaster waste, but access was limited and initially on foot only. After a major storm, ask how the timber will leave the block before the job is booked.
