SDG Detail
Nature Valley� Trails Landcare Grant
Case studyProject description
The Adelaide Hills� December 2019 Cudlee Creek bushfires burnt Lobethal Bushland Park with such heat and intensity that the park suffered an unprecedented 95 percent loss of flora. The Friends of Lobethal Bushland Park wanted to rejuvenate and enhance these fire affected bushland areas with a focus on restoring walking trails in bushland, allowing more people to be immersed and connected with nature through the rejuvenation of the walking trail.
Project aims
Funding from a 2020 Nature Valley� Trails Landcare Grant provided funding for the group to purchase materials to build a 14-metre boardwalk and divert surface water from already existing eroded paths and other restoration work to help protect 118ha of Lobethal Bushland Park.
Project outcome
Friends of Lobethal Bushland Park Group provided 149 volunteer hours of effort on this project and worked closely with the Adelaide Hills Council (Park landowners) who provided the labour for the path improvements.
