This project enhanced the resilience of the area through the implementation of biodiversity corridors in the Balala-Brushgrove area. The project included the planting of native and endemic; where possible; trees, shrubs and sedges/rushes in degraded areas of land, including gully and creek erosion areas, previously cleared wetland and riparian zones and previously cleared hilltops and ridges. These plantings will have great environmental impact at repairing the degraded land as well as increasing native habitat and improving biodiversity of the area. These plantings link with isolated paddock trees and remnant vegetation communities, hence decreasing fragmentation across the landscape.
