Work To Be Done
Rejuvenation of the land and ‘Breed to Release Threatened Species Conservation’ projects have commenced including a new Eastern Bristlebird breeding facility. National Trust Queensland has plans to increase conservation programs at Garima Conservation Reserve in the future.
A detailed Vegetation Mapping Survey and Management plan has been undertaken on the site and National Trust Queensland is establishing projects that include the removal of weed species, revegetating habitat, creating of nest boxes, undertaking pest control, erosion management and the installation of a seed collection and propagation facility on site.
Funding from the Australian Federal Government’s Bushfire Recovery for Wildlife and Habitat Community Grants Program will go towards the on-ground activities and will assist with sustaining and recovering populations of at least two fauna and one flora species (Rufous Scrub-bird, Koala & Scrub Turpentine).
Indigenous tours, bush walking, volunteer programs and educational opportunities are also being considered for the property moving forward.
Maintaining the beauty, diversity and ecological importance of this property and preventing species from becoming extinct in the modern world is our key focus as we continue to protect, conserve, and celebrate Queensland’s environmental, built and cultural heritage.
