FNPW Funding kick Starts our Western Paddock Project

We are well underway with preparations for the propagation and planting of 6000 koala feed trees along riparian corridors at the Bunyah Restoration Project.

Funding from the Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife (#FNPW) has enabled this exciting project which will provide wildlife corridors between koala and glider habitat on private land and the adjacent Wang Wauk Forest, the latter of which is a Koala ARK.   It also facilitates our journey towards sustainable and regenerative farming practices.

All seeds have been locally collected and are being grown out by Trees in Newcastle (#treesinnewcastle) with funding via FNPW’s Bushfire Regeneration Scheme. The construction of stock proof, wildlife friendly fencing is well underway and planting will occur in autumn 2023.   For those interested in looking over the fence at our little Project we will be having some community planting days where we can share our story so far.   More to come on this latter.
