Duck River Catchment Cumberland Plain Vegetation Restoration Project

The project will rehabilitate degraded sections of riparian vegetation and Endangered Ecological Communities (EEC) along Duck River within the Auburn and Parramatta City Council Local Government Areas. The project will focus on the removal of invasive exotic vine species that are suppressing the remnant native riparian and Cumberland Plain Vegetation and the planting of 2000 native provenance species focusing primarily on areas of high erosion potential. Parramatta and Auburn Councils are working in partnership to manage the Duck River Corridor. The project will expand on Councils past works and will result in a significant improvement in the condition of the native Cumberland Plain vegetation and the associated EEC's.

本项目将对奥本（Auburn）与帕拉马塔（Parramatta）市议会管辖范围内的达克河沿岸受损河岸植被及濒危生态群落（Endangered Ecological Communities，EEC）区段开展修复工作。项目将重点清除抑制残存本土河岸植被与坎伯兰平原植被生长的外来入侵藤本物种，并栽植2000株本地种源植物，优先覆盖高侵蚀风险区域。帕拉马塔市议会与奥本市议会将携手合作，共同管护达克河廊道。本项目将延续两市议会此前的修复工作，显著改善本土坎伯兰平原植被及相关濒危生态群落的整体健康状况。
