Restoring Mallacoota’s Nature Reserves for Wildlife and Community Recovery
This project aimed to safeguard the recovery of 127ha of bushfire-affected coastal scrub and lowland forest, including an endangered remnant littoral rainforest, in an Important Bird Area in Mallacoota District, to be achieved through:
- Surveys and mapping of invasive weeds and native vegetation recovery;
- Controlling invasive weeds;
- Preventing erosion to protect waterways and facilitate vegetation re-establishment;
- Seed collection for the community seedbank and nursery; and,
- Engaging the local community in planting native vegetation as well as feeding back project outcomes and future management recommendations.
