Workshop focus

The workshop will focus on the understanding and skills required to undertake ecological rehabilitation and management of disturbed native vegetation, whether in the context of other responsibilities (such as managing powerline corridors) or rehabilitating a site for its conservation and ecosystem values. The workshop will encourage the exchange of skills and knowledge derived from practical experience and research.

Who should come?

The workshop will be of interest to anyone involved in native vegetation rehabilitation and management, such as: local Councils, State government agencies, utilities providers (eg power and water), managers of stock reserves, road and rail easements, NRM/biodiversity staff, CMA staff, industry, environmental consultants, Landcare and other community groups, private landholders and other land managers and decision makers.

Main themes

Legislation and NRM reforms relevant to rehabilitation projects and practitioners.
Planning rehabilitation and management in the context of legislation & policy requirements.
Engaging project participants (expert advisers, stakeholders, interest groups).
Determining the stages in your rehabilitation and management project (using ecological principles to guide the decisions).
The practice of ecological rehabilitation: applying the principles (case studies, site visits, special techniques).

Presenters will include local practitioners and experts with skills and experience in local and regional issues. Networking is also an important component of the workshop.
