Project aims

Project outcome

Over the past five years, the group has established 30 demonstration sites in the Coorong, Murraylands and Riverland regions, aiming to transform unproductive sand dunes into sustainable timber forests.Over 40,000 eucalyptus seedlings were propagated across the sites, involving 55 volunteers and 30 landholders. The project aimed to develop a comprehensive planting guide for identifying species that are able to be planted in unproductive sandy dune areas.
