Regenerating the Monaro by planting 4,500 native trees to help restore a critically endangered woodland community

Case study

Project description

The Upper Snowy Landcare Network works on private and public lands in response to the massive Eucalyptus tree dieback in the Snowy Monaro area. The group prioritises areas that are visible to the public to help raise public and corporate awareness of dieback and the benefits and challenges involved in land restoration work.

Project aims

Project outcome

At the time of writing this report, six weeks after the planting, the survival rate of the 4,500 seedlings is at a record high of 100 per cent. The project has achieved successful establishment of the trees and shrubs, and overcome the largest hurdle in the process of generating new woodland.
