2018 Connecting biodiverse habitats in Coolamon
Completed in 2018 the project enhanced connectivity between Kindra State Forest and Coolamon TSR wetland, supporting wildlife movement and ecosystem health through native planting, habitat protection, and community-focused infrastructure.
This project focused on strengthening native vegetation corridors between Kindra State Forest and the Coolamon TSR wetland, while also enhancing the health of the wetland’s aquatic environment. Improved connectivity between these sites supports natural ecosystem regeneration and enables the movement of native fauna for foraging and breeding across high conservation value areas.
The site was fenced to exclude livestock, with weed and pest control implemented to support native vegetation growth. Approximately 700 native tube stock was planted to create a link between the forest and wetland. To improve access, a pedestrian bridge was constructed, and a bird hide was added to encourage community engagement. Educational signs were also installed throughout the area to highlight its ecological significance.
