​This grant helped us look after Cool Temperate Rainforest along Perrins Creek.

In the reserve and with neighbours we:

• Controlled weeds like Sycamore Maple, Red Cestrum, English Ivy and Hydrangea.

• Replanted with local rainforest plants.

• Monitored wildlife.

• Hosted a community talk on native bees.

This grant supported us to remove weeds along Perrins Creek. We followed up control in an area we cleared of weeds using a previous grant.

We focused mainly on removing young Red Cestrum plants popping up among revegetation.

This grant helped us restore the Perrins Creek Headwaters at the Secret Garden.

​

For this project we:

• Removed woody weeds including Sycamore Maple and English Holly.

• Revegetated with native plants.​

For this project we:

• Removed various woody weeds infesting Cool Temperate Rainforest along Sassafras Creek.

• Worked with neighbouring landholders to control weeds.​

For this project we:

• Removed weeds from Cool Temperate Rainforest in the Secret Garden.

• Revegetated with rainforest plants.

• Monitored wildlife with a spotlight survey and Lyrebird survey.

• Hosted a workshop with students and a community talk on female Lyrebirds.

The aim of this project was to restore Sassafras Creek Nature Conservation Reserve after the impacts of the June 2021 wind storm.

​

For this project we:

• Removed remaining re-emerging Sycamore Maple and other weeds form areas worked in previous years.

• Improved access to the area after the storm damage so we can plant and weed.

The aim of this project was to do weed control and revegetation in the area around Beagleys Bridge off Perrins Creek Road. The timing of this project was delayed due to COVID restrictions. Despite delays we removed lots of weeds and replaced them with native plants.

We have an agreement with Parks Victoria for collecting seeds from rainforest plants to propagate. We grow them and plant them in areas we've removed weeds, to improve habitat for native wildlife.
