Restoration of Littoral Rainforest and Wading Bird Habitat

• A habitat restoration project, targeting invasive weeds on an island in the Hastings River.• Invasive weeds threaten the littoral rainforest (critically endangered - EPBC Act) on the northern part of the island. Many of these weeds, especially vines, threaten the survival of the tree layer and the rainforest itself and have the potential to spread to nearby natural areas.• The high tide roost for the wading birds that migrate from the Northern Hemisphere in summer is threatened by the invasion of exotic weeds. • Removal of these weeds will maintain the health of the rainforest and suitability of the high tide roost. • Feral predator control, fox and rat, will reduce the predation of JAMBA/CAMBA listed waders.
