Galbraith Creek Riparian Revegetation

This project builds on previous revegetation of Galbraith Creek in Galbraith Park
Cannonvale, which is located in the Whitsunday region. The project will contribute to
restoring a corridor of riparian habitat along Galbraith Creek by undertaking 0.3 ha of weed
control, revegetating 0.3 ha, and holding 4 community days. The project will result in
improved native plant biodiversity and habitat for wildlife, increased connectivity between remnant riparian habitat across Cannon Valley, and improved water quality flowing to inshore waters in Pioneer Bay, reducing stress on seagrass habitat used by Dugong and
turtles. The site will also provide a valuable resource for community environmental
education about local native plant species.

本项目依托位于圣灵群岛地区坎农维尔市加尔布雷思公园内的加尔布雷思溪前期植被修复工作开展。本次项目将通过实施0.3公顷杂草防控、0.3公顷植被修复，并举办4场社区活动，助力恢复加尔布雷思溪沿岸的河岸生境廊道。项目实施后，可提升本土植物生物多样性与野生动物栖息生境质量，增强坎农谷全域残存河岸生境间的连通性，同时改善流入先锋湾近岸海域的水体水质，减轻儒艮（Dugong）与海龟赖以生存的海草生境所承受的生存压力。该修复场地还将为社区开展本土植物物种相关的环境教育提供优质资源。
