Conservation Volunteers Australia is partnering with landholders and community volunteers in the Lismore area to restore degraded pasture through revegetation with locally native tubestock. This project is an important part of our Connecting Koala Habitat program. We are aiming to plant 10,000 trees by 2020. The sites have been prepared and holes have been dug ensuring easy planting sessions, and extra helping hands are always welcome!
Help make a difference to the lakes and ponds of Banora Point! They are subject to eutrophication (excess nutrients entering the water), creating weed problems and potentially harming native aquatic flora and fauna. Join CVA and local residents in activities that aim to improve the water quality such as removing and replacing weeds with native plants that will act as buffers to improve water quality and habitat for local wildlife. You may even spot a rare Comb-crested Jacana!
