Durness Borland Landcare Corridor Planting Day

Landcare Australia invited the local Port Stephens community to celebrate Landcare Week 2011 by launching the Durness-Borland Landcare Corridor project at a community planting day just outside Tea Gardens on Sunday, September 11th.

The Durness-Borland Landcare corridor is a substantial biodiversity corridor that is being established in the coastal hinterland of the lower Myall River, partly funded by a generous philanthropic bequest from the estate of the late Raymond Borland to Landcare Australia.

The project is a partnership between Landcare Australia, Durness Station (a subsidiary of Nepean), Hunter-Central Rivers CMA and Great Lakes Council, and will connect areas of high conservation value for native fauna and flora habitat. It will also rehabilitate and revegetate degraded grazing areas to reconnect remnant vegetation of high conversation value near the lower Myall River and Port Stephens with an extensive area of remnant swamp forest.
