The East Gippsland Rail Trail Community Engagement Project

This project will conserve the natural habitat of a number of endangered and threatened native fauna and flora species along the East Gippsland Rail Trail against the threat of invasive plant species, flooding, erosion, and human interference. The focus will be on revegetating sectors of the Trail in the vicinity of East Bairnsdale, Nicholson and Bumberrah, including rehabilitation of a small section of remnant temperate littoral rainforest on the west bank of the Nicholson River adjacent to the Trail. This will include installation of nesting boxes for migratory and sedentary bird species.
