Agenda

Enjoy complimentary light refreshments, ask informal questions, refresh and network as desired.

Morning Tea

Hear about the site, its ecological significance and the revegetation model used to restore fragmented native vegetation. Learn how the site adds value to other local landscape projects & meet representatives from the BushBank partner organisations. You'll also hear from the landowner who has managed the revegetation himself, applying his extensive landscape rehabilitation experience and using unique techniques to overcome the various challenges  of rehabilitating former grazing land.

Presentations & Discussions

Experience a guided walk through the restoration zone and see firsthand the transformation of 62 hectares of former grazing land into a thriving example of endangered Plains Grassy Woodland vegetation. The walk will highlight the use of direct seeding & seedling planting techniques, tailored to different levels of natural regeneration and soil types. Note: this property requires a 20-minute walk to the revegetation site.

Ask remaining questions directly to the landowners and team completing the work, before we close out with key takeaways from the morning.
