A Big tick from the Trust

The Grants Administrator-Bush Regeneration had this to say about the project…

“This project maintains its status as an example of excellence in the Community Bush Regeneration program. The Trust commends the group for jointly receiving he Community group of the year award. The project manager and steering committee have continually demonstrated adaptive management to overcome obstacles as they arise and find suitable alternative methods. An example of this is the redirection of landholder engagement efforts to installation of glider habitat boxes after the Neighbourhood Node failed to attract the number of residents hoped for.

Using fauna presence as a driver for engagement with those that otherwise can be reticent is a wise move. Visual cues such as artificial habitat installations or camera trap photos showing fauna in-situ can often be the difference with “breaking though” before being able to explain the need for healthy habitat to retain their presence.

The impressive outcomes that have already been achieved through this project are a result of the project manager and committee’s hard work in combination with a dedicated group of volunteers and effective contractors. Keep up the great work!

This project continues to exceed expectations, despite some measures lagging behind their midpoint targets. As it enters its fourth stage the project focus will shift to ramping up on-ground outputs. Volunteer contributions have again surpassed their target by a significant amount. Another sterling report with comprehensive details and supporting information."
