Restoration and Revegetation of Australian Ecosystems
Restoration is the process used to speed up the recovery of degraded areas and may range from the attempt to restore productivity to degraded farmlands or to re-establish a near-natural ecosystem.
Revegetation is one method of Environmental Restoration, which involves the process of replanting a disturbed area in order to improve land, water and air quality and provide habitat.

Wombat Mange Management
Mange Management was formed from a group of dedicated and concerned volunteers from varying backgrounds keen to treat and reduce the impact of mange on our “Free Living” wombats using the burrow flap method.
The program developed social networking by involving more groups and organisations to come on board and assist in the fight against mange.
