Increasing Connectivity and Resilience in the Murray Mallee Region

This project aims to increase connectivity, resilience and function in the natural grasslands of the South Australian Murray Mallee. Weed infestations currently threaten the viability of the remaining native grasslands in the region and are having a
dire effect on the health of the Southern Hairy-nosed Wombat. Conservation Volunteers Australia will work with surrounding landholders across approximately 36,000 hectares, to undertake significant weed control including manual methods. These works, along with targeted pest animal control, will be strategically located
to increase habitat quality and extent, and reduce wildlife-human conflicts in adjacent pastures.
