The project also includes street trees, ranger gates, bollards, bench seating, walking tracks, and picnic shelters, creating a welcoming and sustainable space. Ongoing maintenance ensures the long-term success and environmental resilience of these improvements.
Macquarie River Restoration - Upright Management
Restoration works along the Macquarie River included targeted weed removal, careful mowing and rubbish clean-up. By protecting native species and opening space for natural regeneration, we improved ecosystem health and enhanced public access. The project received positive feedback from the local community.
Environmental Project Support - Newmont Cadia Valley Operations
Supporting large-scale revegetation, landscaping the site entrance, and harvesting native seeds for regional offsets. Two Conservation & Ecosystem Management trainees gain hands-on mine-site experience, developing practical skills and building career pathways in environmental services.
Marrangaroo National Park – Targeted Weed Control & Habitat Protection
Targeted blackberry control at Marrangaroo National Park near Lithgow supported the protection of Bursaria spinosa (Native Blackthorn), a critical habitat for the endangered Purple Copper Butterfly.
