About the project:
Open grassy woodlands across NSW have been extensively cleared and degraded, leading to ecosystem collapse and making regional communities vulnerable to drought. To combat this, building diverse, functionally resilient native ground cover is essential for restoring key ecosystem services, such as soil stabilisation, carbon sequestration, and forage provision, which support farms and regional landscapes under future drought and climate change. This project sets in place key resources and learnings for transformational change at the landscape scale across NSW by delivering (1) diverse, drought-tolerant seed for revegetation, (2) drought-tolerant ground cover, (3) nature positive biodiversity and soil carbon enhancement, (4) landscape connections that support ecological, social and cultural values, and (5) capacity and knowledge building, including proof of concept to restore natural resources.
