The Big Scrub - Caring for Remnants of Critically Endangered Lowland Rainforest

This project forms part of Big Scrub Landcare's long-term Remnant Care and Community Engagement Programs and will reduce the impact and spread of weeds over 24 ha in the Big Scrub. The area includes 4 sites of Critically Endangered Lowland Rainforest of Subtropical Australia (CELRSA). Management plans will be developed for each site and weed control and monitoring will be carried out by experienced and licensed bush regenerators. The community engagement aspect of the project will include one field day and one Big Scrub Day attended by over 400 people, 2 editions of the group’s Newsletter (circulation over 300), over 500 people visiting the group's website, and 40 landholders involved with the restoration of remnants on their properties.

本项目作为大灌丛土地保护组织（Big Scrub Landcare）长期实施的遗迹保育与社区参与计划的组成部分，旨在降低大灌丛区域内逾24公顷土地上的杂草危害并遏制其扩散。该区域包含4处澳大利亚亚热带低地极度濒危雨林（Critically Endangered Lowland Rainforest of Subtropical Australia，简称CELRSA）保护地。项目将为每一处保护地制定专属管理方案，并由经验丰富且持有执业资质的丛林修复从业者开展杂草防治与监测工作。本项目的社区参与板块包含以下内容：1场野外实地活动与1场大灌丛日活动，累计参与人数逾400人；发行2期该组织的通讯刊物，每期发行量逾300份；吸引逾500人次访问该组织官方网站；动员40名土地所有者参与其自有地块上的遗迹修复工作。
