Ravensthorpe - Revegetation and Community Awareness Project

This project will use the local NRM group RAIN as the central coordinating body to undertake revegetation works in Ravensthorpe Shire and surrounds. Recent surveys of the RAIN membership base indicate that there is a strong interest in revegetation works. Reasons are varied and include; for wind breaks, biodiversity (connecting corridors), improving soil health and salinity. Two 'Native Revegetation' workshops will be delivered - outlining species selection, site preparation & planting methods, pests & disease. There will be a demonstration of the Chatfield Tree Planter at each event. Planting guidelines will be disseminated to the public through media. By educating landholders, RAIN hopes to increase the success of revegetation works.本项目将以本地自然资管理（NRM）组织RAIN作为核心协调机构，在雷文斯索普郡及周边地区开展植被恢复工作。近期针对RAIN成员群体的调查显示，他们对植被恢复工作抱有浓厚兴趣。其原因多样，包括：营造防风林、维护生物多样性（构建生态廊道）、改善土壤健康状况及治理盐渍化。项目将举办两场“本土植被恢复”工作坊，内容涵盖物种选择、场地准备与种植方法、病虫害防治等要点。每场活动均会展示Chatfield植树机，种植指南也将通过媒体向公众传播。通过对土地所有者开展教育，RAIN期望提升植被恢复工作的成功率。
