Fraser Coast Urban Wildlife Corridor Restoration Project - Fay Smith Wetlands

This project aims to increase the area of remnant and regrowth native vegetation and enhance fauna habitat and wetland health by revegetating and/or regenerating sections of Fay Smith Wetlands in Maryborough. Priority weeds inhibiting native regeneration will be managed and connectivity within the reserve improved. The project will also target conservation of local flora and fauna species and protection of a wetland of high ecological significance. Participants will develop skills in Conservation and Land Management and gain broader work skills which they will be able to apply in their future careers.

本项目旨在通过对马里伯勒（Maryborough）境内的费伊·史密斯湿地（Fay Smith Wetlands）部分区域开展植被重建与/或自然恢复工作，扩大原生残留植被与原生恢复植被的覆盖面积，改善动物栖息地质量与湿地健康水平。项目将对阻碍本土植被自然更新的优先管控入侵杂草进行治理，并提升保护区内的生境连通性。此外，本项目还将聚焦本地动植物物种的保护，以及这一具有高度生态重要性的湿地的保护。参与项目的人员将习得保护与土地管理相关技能，并掌握更广泛的职业技能，可在未来职业生涯中予以应用。
