Pollyanna of Carbon Positive Australia interviews Sam of Future Forests on our Nimbin, NSW planting site and the bush regeneration work we're doing there and the impact it'll have on endangered species in the area.

Located in a medium to high-value koala habitat, this northern NSW property was previously used to graze Dexter cattle and has been extensively cleared. This 33-hectare ecological restoration project will provide a wildlife corridor, linking up remnant bushland between two national parks. Our aim is to restore the site to a thriving forest, increasing habitat for a range of endangered species (including koalas), improving biodiversity, and encouraging further natural regeneration.

One of the challenges of this site is the shoulder-high Setaria (a thick, tufted, African pasture grass) that covers much of the planting area. This grass is very hard to plant into and slashing is difficult due to steep slopes and hidden rocks.

In 2021, we began work on the 6 hectares allocated to bush regeneration. This included removing invasive species such as camphor laurel and privet. In 2022, we will be planting a diverse mix of approximately 70,000 native dry rainforest, sclerophyll and riparian species across the remaining 27.5 hectares. The species mix is highly diverse with a total of 104 species being planted.
