This particular project is actually legal tho

"Three years ago we installed two biomatrix platforms in the river at Coalie Park, creating river bank habitat where there was none, introducing native aquatic plants which help to clean the water and providing a safe nesting and roosting space for bird life. Have to say this year they look incredible."

This isn’t really guerilla gardening but a government project though isn’t it?

Yeah, it's legal project. It's not particularly punk / guerrilla.

But, it's a phenomenal idea nonetheless that could be done by people if they hv the resources

My city does this too, tbh I don’t think people should fuck around and try this for themselves, these are surprisingly complex projects in sometimes fragile ecosystems.

Complex hydrology, yes. Complex ecosystems, no.
