Redwood Park Rainforest Fauna and Flora Rescue

This project will eliminate weeds from approximately 80 ha of endangered dry rainforest, regional ecosystem 12.8.21 with some riverine wetland. Extensive infestations of the exotic vines, madeira vine, cats claw creeper and climbing asparagus, all WONS weeds, are placing the structure of the forest at severe risk, while coral berry, lantana and privet are are also prevalent. The rainforest here is a known habitat for the vulnerable Black Breasted Button Quail (Turnix Melanogaster). The endangered orchid Sarcochilus Weinthalii is under increasing threat from Cats Claw Creeper and Climbing Asparagus. Friends of the Escarpment Parks will utilise the volunteer resources of Conservation Volunteers Association for the project.
