This work will build on weed control and bush
regeneration activities that have been conducted at the
nature reserve for several years. The work proposed is to
revegetate degraded creek lines which have been
previously cleared. The aim of this revegetation work is
to both stabilise these areas, thereby reducing the
potential for erosion.

Wianamatta
Parkland Nature
Reserve
This project will work on the revegetation of areas in the
nature reserve to connect two ecological zones. It aims to
reduce the potential for erosion in the floodplain, and
therefore remove the site as a vector for further weed
incursion and provide additional habitat for local native
fauna. It is proposed to plant 80 trees and a diverse
range of local understorey species in the area.

Scheyville National
Park
This project aims to revegetate approximately 20% of the
exotic grassland areas with tree and large shrub species
of the Cumberland Plain Woodland vegetation
community. This would form the basis of a canopy which
would provide habitat for native fauna species, act as a
corridor between existing native vegetation and provide
a solid basis for further reintroduction of native flora
species.

Cattai National
Park
The aim of the revegetation works at the national park is
to both improve the soil quality and the native vegetation
cover at the site. Works proposed include revegetation
and the importation of additional organic material to the
site, in the form of mulch and soil, to increase the survival
rate for plantings in this project. Species selected for
installation at this site will be chosen based on their
ability to colonise less than pristine land.
