East Gippsland Rail Trail Conservation Project - Stage 4

This project will restore and rehabilitate significant vegetation communities (endangered ecological communities) and enhance habitat of threatened species along the East Gippsland Rail Trail. The four stages of the project will restore native ecosystems along the 100km trail from Bairnsdale to Orbost. Participants will work with the East Gippsland Rail Trail Committee of Management, Landcare groups, Country Fire Authority and other agencies to undertake weed control, erosion management and planting of native species. Project activities will engage the community in ecological restoration and increase awareness of the environmental values of the rail trail area.
