How landholders from Gunnedah converted a dustbowl into a haven for wildlife!

10 Nov, 2021

Twenty-one years ago, when Wayne and Ingrid Yeo took over 'Kianga', west of Gunnedah they were faced with an almighty challenge. Overgrazed and devoid of trees, the property was in a poor state. Appreciating the value of all living things in the ecosystem, they have undertaken a range of thoughtful strategies to support on-farm biodiversity. They have transformed the landscape, creating a haven for koalas, birds and other native creatures.

Landcare leading wildlife recovery post-bushfires

12 Oct, 2021

Amongst the extensive destruction of the 2019-2020 bushfires, native wildlife was severely affected in many ways, with a major and long-term impact being the loss of hollow-bearing trees that provide critical habitat for about 15% of Australian animals. Many landholders in the bushfire zones have experienced the loss of large hollow-bearing trees that are sometimes hundreds of years old. In response, nest boxes have been used extensively to re-create the essential nesting hollows. Building on this, the North Coast Regional Landcare Network has embarked on a regional-scale project to install more nest boxes as well as using innovative drilling techniques that create hollows within the tree trunk.
