Join us at the Boolambayte Re-Wilding Project and learn about how Geoff and Louise have altered the land management strategies on this flood prone landscape to support local native flora and fauna.
We will be welcoming our members, NSW Biodiversity Conservation Trust conservation agreement-holders and staff from MidCoast2Tops Landcare onto the Boolambayte property of Louise and Geoff. This property on Worimi Country is home to TEC - Swamp Sclerophyll Forest on Floodplain, various ground orchids and other features of local conservation significance.
We look forward to you joining us for a half day field trip to learn from Steve Lucas (Newcastle University) about integrated water cycle management, water systems process and simulation, soil chemistry, environmental management.
Melanie Ledgett (Boomerang Environmental) will show us over recent revegetation works and discuss the problem of Setaria in restoring agricultural landscapes.
This event is possible thanks to the shared work of the NSW Biodiversity Conservation Trust and
Landcare NSW under the Private Land Conservation Matters project.
The event will involve a bush walk over uneven ground and is not suitable for people with limited mobility.
This event is free to all landholders in the MidCoast 2 Tops Landcare network and clients of the Biodiversity Conservation Trust. MC2T Landcare reserves the right to prioritise our members, BCT clients and local landholders, in the event of capacity ticket sales.
Landcare NSW and the NSW Biodiversity Conservation Trust are working together to raise awareness and support private land conservation efforts across the state.
