Carwoola Landcare invite you to join us for a hands on workshop with erosion expert Andy Taylor of LLS. Come and learn how to best manage erosion problems on your property using low cost solutions. This workshop provides the opportunity to have a go at instaling control options that you could try at home.

This session is in the Carwoola area. The proprty address will be provided after registration.

UMLC is partnering with Local Land Services (LLS) to deliver projects that promote the recovery of the endangered Koala populations located in the Southern Tablelands. The project is supported by the Department of Planning and Environment through the NSW Koala Strategy.

The Monaro is home to a unique koala population, mainly located around the ARKS (Area of Regional Koala Significance) as per the map below. Historical and recent surveys have shown that this area’s koala population has a local and state wide significance. Under the NSW Koala Strategy, the Southern Tablelands includes one of ten koala strongholds within NSW. It is vitally important for us to protect and enhance koala habitat through on-ground works and to conduct ongoing surveys to learn more about this population and how we can help them.

We are offering co-contribution incentives to private land managers for on-ground works that protect and enhance koala habitat, improve connectivity of habitat and address threats in and around the ARKS. 

Koala surveys using audio recorders, which detect male koala bellows, is also an important component of this project. The koala survey undertaken last year by LLS recorded koalas right across the region and in some areas at higher levels than more northern populations. A repeat of this survey is planned and we are interested in hearing from landholders that would like to participate. We are keen to hear from landholders not only within the ARKS but also in neighbouring areas. Koalas are known to move throughout our region and cross our rivers, so if you have treed remnants on your property and would be interested in participating in the koala survey please complete the registration form.
