Removing strangling weeds from threatened ecological communities so our native fauna and flora can thrive.
This restoration project is improving habitat quality in an important area of the Coombabah Lakelands, part of the Moreton Bay Ramsar Wetland.Improving habitat quality and ecological integrity in the Coombabah Lakelands through weeding aggressive invasive species.
This restoration project is improving habitat quality in an important area of the Coombabah Lakelands, part of the Moreton Bay Ramsar Wetland. The project site is adjacent to feeding and roosting sites for internationally and nationally listed wading birds.
This project is improving forest health, increasing the open forest’s capacity to adapt to climate change-induced sea level rise, enhancing roosting sites for migratory shorebirds, and improving the recruitment of endemic species including Casuarina and Melaleuca as well as ground vegetation including native grasses and herbaceous species.
The Coombabah Lakelands are an integral component of the Moreton Bay Ramsar Wetland. The project site is adjacent to feeding and roosting sites for internationally and nationally listed wading birds including the Bar-tailed Godwit, Whimbrel, and Eastern Curlew. These shorebirds travel shocking distances during their yearly migrations and desperately need the slowly diminishing pitstops around the globe to rest and feed.
