Conservation Volunteers Australia is partnering with landholders and community volunteers in the Lismore area to restore degraded pasture and create wildlife corridors, improving and linking koala habitat between local farms by revegetating with locally native tubestock.

Koalas are listed as nationally vulnerable due primarily to the loss and fragmentation of habitat. Small habitat remnants in project areas are leaving individuals at risk of predation, isolation and displacement. Students are invited to join rural landholders and conservation volunteers in restoring a strategic habitat corridor throughout the landscape helping to enhance habitat connectivity for the Koala population, whilst improving the riparian corridor of the Wilson’s River. 

Working together with community volunteers, we are aiming to plant 3,500 trees by the end of August. The sites have been prepared and holes have been dug ensuring easy planting sessions. This is a great opportunity for NRM students to test their plant ID skills and assist with monitoring. To find out more visit the Conservation Volunteers Australia website or call the Ballina Regional office on (02) 6681 6169.
