Increasing Adoption of Ongoing Conservation & Protection of Biodiversity through Restoring Remnant Vegetation Connections
Period: 2010-11
Funding Body: Caring for Our Country
Funds: $19,918
Project Officers: Genevieve Harvey
Summary
This project forms part of the larger Gondwana Link program which is working to achieve long-term sustainability of natural systems by reconnecting ‘country in South-western Australia, from Kalgoorlie to the Karri, in which ecosystem function and biodiversity are restored and maintained’. The specific outcomes of this project include biodiversity restoration work (6km of fencing and 8ha of revegetation) on priority properties linked to the Upper Kent and Balicup (North Stirling) wetland suites located with respect to the Gondwana Link (Forest to Stirlings) program. This project will assist landholders of identified priority properties to conserve remnant vegetation to be managed for greater ecological connectivity across our area.
Outcome
This project achieved 17ha of revegetation utilising 4.7km of fencing to protect this newly established vegetation corridor. The site revegetated will assist in developing linkages between the Boorocup Lakes system and the Stirling Range outliers. These Boorocup Lakes are part to the Balicup suite of wetlands. This project added to works completed by landholders south of the property who have been creating links to remnants.
