Greenfleet & biodiversity
Our forests are more than just trees absorbing carbon. We see the incredible transformations, where native vegetation replaces bare land. But what is really going on “amongst” the trees? Biodiversity for one thing. What is biodiversity, you ask?
The losses suffered by the communities of Kinglake and Kinglake West in the 2009 Black Saturday bushfires were among the most catastrophic in Australia’s recorded history.
In a recent visit, TAKE2 discovered how Greenfleet’s revegetation project to breathe life back into the bush after the fires helped revitalise not only the land, but the community too.
Transforming the Great Ocean Road, one forest at a time
Stretching along the south coast of Victoria, the Great Ocean Road is one of the World’s most scenic coastal roads, boasting picturesque scenery. The contrast of the bright blue sparkling ocean with the colourful green hillsides is just breathtaking.
On August 24, the biggest environmental tree planting project ever undertaken in the Bundaberg Region was officially launched.
On the day, Jack Dempsey, Mayor of the Bundaberg Region, Wayne Wescott, Greenfleet CEO, planted the first of 90,000 native trees in the Barolin Nature Reserve.
Landscape fragmentation is a significant problem in Australia. Where once our landscape was one of connected native forests, there is now only small pockets of vulnerable native vegetation surrounded by a sea of open farmland.
However, a long-term partnership between Greenfleet and Cassinia Environmental is piecing together a patchwork of biodiverse forests.
