East Gippsland Rail Trail Conservation Project

This project will focus on the restoration, rehabilitation and reestablishment of significant vegetation communities as well as protecting the native habitat of several endangered or threatened fauna and flora species along the East Gippsland Rail Trail. Participants will undertake a range of activities including plant and weed identification, weed control, erosion management, mapping and planning projects, planting of native species and development of safe nesting and breeding areas for migratory and sedentary birds in the area. The project will also offer participants the opportunity to learn about, collate and share information about the cultural heritage, history and environmental significance of the region.
