Rehabilitation of two important Cassowary Corridors in the Mission Beach area – Project 1

This project will protect, increase the area of, and improve the condition and connectivity of essential habitat and corridors for the endangered cassowary on public and private land with conservation agreements. The project will remove and control invasive weeds and replant native plant species in the disturbed and cleared areas. The Green Army team will learn procedures for seed-collection, plant propagation, weed identification, weed control and tree-planting by experienced land managers. Community awareness and engagement with the environment will be increased by interpretive signage, field-days and social media interactions.
