REHABILITATING HIGH CONSERVATION VALUE HABITATS AND CORRIDORS
This is a project located in the Richmond Catchment in Northern NSW, that has a life of six years and is funded by the NSW Environmental Trust. Jiggi Catchment Landcare Group Inc, are the project managers and have teamed up with other groups with a shared commitment to restoring native vegetation with an aim of expanding connectivity on a landscape scale. The project is using wildlife corridors to connect the groups. Stakeholders include Mulvena Road Landcare, Nimbin Rocks Cooperative Landcare, Jiggi Catchment Landcare, Goolmangar School and Jiggi School Landcare groups. There are seven properties in total, three of the particpating properties are multiple occupancy or community title land with numerous shareholders to contribute to achieving the desired outcomes. Thirty six hectares of native bush have been restored in the first two years of the project and 1746 endemic species have been planted. Many threatened flora and fauna species have been recorded on the property. Annual field days give the community an opportunity to view the incredible results that can be achieved from a long term funded project and more importantly committed landowners. The two primary schools included in the project participate in environmental education days with planting and Waterwatch activites.
