NE NSW Grey-headed Flying-fox Habitat Restoration Project

Brief description

The project has been developed to provide a repository for documenting actions that restore and enhance habitat critical for grey-headed flying-foxes in north-east New South Wales. The format and content were developed by experienced ecological restoration practitioners in collaboration with CSIRO Atlas of Living Australia. Data acquired on the location and characteristics of restoration sites, the work undertaken at the sites and the outcomes achieved create an information base for coordinating and planning large-scale restoration programs, and provide data for summarising and analysing restoration work at different spatial and temporal scales. Data is entered into standard forms. The Site Information and Work Details form captures characteristics of individual work sites and details ofs the primary on-ground restoration activities conducted at the sites. A second data form, currently in development, will log the results of site monitoring surveys. The data entry templates developed for this project are available to ALA BioCollect Ecoscience Projects in other regions and with other vegetation restoration goals. Assistance with navigating the project and entering data is available in the User Guide which can be found in the Resources page. The project is jointly funded by a Commonwealth Multiregional Bushfire Recovery Grant MSSPI000037, and an American National Science Foundation Grant CNH-L: Dynamics of zoonotic systems: human-bat-pathogen interactions. Those wishing to become members of this project and enter data should contact the Administrator.
