The Bunyas to Border (B2B) project is almost two years old!
Supported by the International Fund for Animal Welfare and the Great Eastern Ranges, as part of their Koala Climate Corridors initiative, the B2B project works with local groups, landholders and communities to reconnect and regenerate habitat to help local wildlife like koalas have safe spaces to move as conditions and food sources shift, while also supporting the needs of long-distance migrators such as rainbow bee-eaters.
So far, with the involvement of over 400 community members, community groups and agency representatives, B2B has achieved over 5,000 trees planted across properties from Crows Nest to Thornton, installed a Greater Glider nest box monitoring project at Dingo Mountain, distributed 41 wildlife water stations to landholders, hosted three community workshops on threatened species with a field day and further workshops planned for 2025 and developed a framework for conservation action along the corridor.
To celebrate, there will be a
B2B Connectivity Conservation Forum
Saturday 14th June, 9:00am-12:30pm at Murphys Creek Community Centre (flyer below).
The Forum will feature international and national speakers, experts in the science and practice of Connectivity Conservation, and provide an opportunity to discuss with the speakers the role of B2B and how best our B2B collaboration can match good examples, nationally and internationally.
We hope you can make this exciting forum. Bookings are essential. There are places available for up to 2 members of FEP. Morning tea and lunch will be provided so any dietary requirements should be notified.
If you are interested in attending contact Elizabeth Addie (president@fep.org.au) to arrange registration.
