Outcomes

By undertaking this biodiverse native planting, 2 areas of bushland will be connected.  By hosting community events on weed identification & removal more people will learn about practices that improve vegetation management. By hosting community planting days for revegetation with native species more people will understand the need for biodiversity in habitat restoration and management. By controlling weeds in this remnant bushland, we will prevent weeds from spreading and encourage native regeneration.
