NSW Flying-Fox Habitat Restoration Program

This project has been developed to provide a repository for documenting actions that restore and enhance camp and foraging habitat for flying-foxes under the LGNSW Flying-fox Habitat Restoration Program (FFHRP) at project sites across New South Wales. The format and content of the project and survey forms were developed by experienced ecological restoration practitioners in collaboration with the Atlas of Living Australia. Data acquired on the location and characteristics of restoration sites funded under the FFHRP, the work undertaken at the sites and the outcomes achieved create an information base for documenting and describing contributions to flying-fox conservation and management made by the FFHRP. As part of the NSW Habitat Restoration HUB, the data will assist with coordinating and planning large-scale restoration programs and provide data for summarising and analysing restoration work at different spatial and temporal scales. The Site Information and Work Details survey form captures characteristics of the work site and details the primary on-ground restoration activities conducted at the site. A second data form, currently in development, will log the results of site monitoring surveys. Assistance with navigating the project and entering data is available in the User Guide which can be found in the Resources page. The FFHRP has been assisted by the New South Wales Government through its Environmental Trust.
