Landcare WIRES Grant
New nest boxes monitoring on Koala Crossing
At QTFN, we’re constantly working to deliver more growth, opportunity and longevity: renewing (and repurposing) natural assets, providing new investment opportunities, growing returns and results, and extending benefits further across environmental, economic, social and cultural outcomes.
In 2020, QTFN was a successful recipient of a WIRES-Landcare Wildlife Relief and Recovery Grant. This follows the devastating summer that saw significant areas of our south east Queensland scrub impacted by wildlife and many years of prolonged drought.
Through this grant, QTFN set out to drought proof Koala Crossing – a 650ha koala conservation property in the Flinders Karawatha Corridor, SEQ.
QTFN has been actively restoring the land through weeding and revegetation but the existing vegetation is predominantly regrowth forest. On its way to be ecologically functioning systems, but currently lacking the large hollow bearing trees many of our wildlife species rely on.
This grant allowed us to supplement the habitat with nest boxes, drinking station and a new rainwater tank.
