Summary
This project aims to enhance the condition and connectivity of Gondwana habitat in the Duck Creek and Upper Albert River sub-catchments. SEQ Catchments is providing support to grazing landholders to help protect and buffer World Heritage Area vegetation, enhance condition and connectivity of remnant and regrowth native vegetation, and improve soil condition and water quality. overall program goals
The riparian zone of this property contains vegetation mapped as remnant blue gum, bottle brush and she-oak fringing forest (RE 12.3.7). The targeted terrestrial vegetation contains hoop pine dry rainforest (RE 12.8.4). This project will improve and enhance the condition and connectivity of approximately 8ha of riparian vegetation and 2ha of terrestrial vegetation through strategic weed control, primarily targeting lantana and Chinese elm to encourage natural regeneration and improve habitat values. The landholder is committed to monitoring and maintaining project outcomes, including:
