Ecological Restoration of Booligal State Conservation Area - Improving Resilience and Removing Threat - Project 2

The invasion by exotic species poses a severe threat to the environmental integrity and biodiversity of the Booligal State Conservation Area and surrounds. The project aims to protect the Booligal wetlands and the surrounding riparian environments from infestation and encroachment of Weeds of National Significance (namely African Boxthorn) by undertaking an extensive weed removal and restoration project and in doing so improve habitat for threatened species, vegetation condition, biodiversity and connectivity. The Green Army Team will map weed infestations, undertake strategic and coordinated weed management program, conduct flora and fauna surveys to monitor success and inform future projects. The Team will augment existing projects and link in with landscape weed management activities.
