PFSQ secures Federal Govt Landcare Funding of $4m

We are pleased to announce that a joint submission between PFSQ, SEQ Catchments and CQ Forest Association has been approved by the Australian Dept of Agriculture, Fisheries & Forestry under the Caring for our Country program.  The program is called  Revegnet.au and in due course we will have links applied to let you all see what it’s all about.  Below is the precis delivered by the Federal Government.

Revegnet.au has been developed to progress through a logical flow from definition of best management forest, reafforestation and revegetation practices, mapping and risk assessment of priority areas, the improvement in skill and capacity building of landholders, developing property management plans and the implementation of those plans via an incentive program for on-ground works. These works will include fencing riparian areas and unstable drainage lines, revegetating recharge zones, linking fragmented essential habitat forests and improving the health, ground cover and productivity of overstocked regrowth forests. Revegnet.au will ensure a network of critical endangered ecological communities buffered and linked via reafforestation to allow for a resilient recharge/discharge of biodiversity functions across the landscape.
