Revegetation is a commonly used tool to reduce the impact of habitat loss on biodiversity in an ecosystem. Between 2011-2016, the Coorong, Lower Lakes Murray Mouth Recovery Program undertook an extensive revegetation program as a response to the Millennium Drought, ultimately resulting in the revegetation of over five million native plants.
Our current landscape revegetation project is looking at ecosystem responses to historic revegetation and capturing knowledge of historic revegetation around the region. The team will then use this information to inform recommendations for future revegetation efforts.
The project will focus on three components – revegetation, bird populations and soil health – to explore how the ecosystem responds to revegetation. We’re currently collecting information and part of that work includes a targeted survey.
The project team are looking for First Nations and local practitioners who have been involved in previous revegetation projects in the CLLMM region.
Is this you? If you have experience in local revegetation we’d appreciate it if you could complete this survey to share your knowledge.
