Southern Highlands Koala Conservation Project (SHKCP) planting day
Over 300 shrubs and trees were planted on a beautiful Land for Wildlife property at Canyonleigh. This property is part of a very important koala habitat corridor and the landholders are to be admired for their dedication to enhancing habitat on their land. They had already planted over a 100 trees and this time were were planting understory shrubs as well as tree to enhance biodiversity. There are a few remanent E. Cinerera (the Argyle Apple) scattered around the property. We planted a ring of E. Cinerera around each of them with the aim of creating 'habitat hops'. There were also a large number of lomandras planted to help with an erosion zone. Landcare volunteers are returning on Saturday 20th to further assist the landholders with maintenance of previous plantings.
