Reconstructing priority ecosystems in a SE Mt Lofty Ranges biodiversity hotspot - Project 2

This project will reconstruct pre-clearance vegetation types at 2 sites comprising 20 hectares of cleared land contiguous with high value remnant vegetation in Kyeema Conservation Park. Approx 32,000 plants will be established by the community to connect areas of previous revegetation and remnant vegetation to provide vital habitat for declining woodland birds and other native flora and fauna species. Green Army participants will be involved in all aspects of the project including seed collection, plant propagation, site preparation, plant establishment, maintenance and monitoring. Community groups, a 4wd club and schools will also be involved in activities. A plan will be prepared to guide restoration works in line with current best practice.
