Late last year, traditional owners helped us to collect Tumut Grevillea seed from the Goobra-Sandy TSR. This seed was then propagated at a community based Landcare Nursery in Tumut.
Through the Refreshing Rivers project, NPWS, Brungle Tumut Local Aboriginal Land Council and recently LLS came together to restore habitat through woody weed removal, fencing and the planting of 60 Tumut Grevilleas.
To encourage the broader local community to help save this rare plant, we also held a Rare Plant Propagation Workshop. Led by Dr David Hunter, Senior Threatened Species Officer with DCCEEW, 46 people came along to learn insights into native plant propagation and conservation.
These combined efforts are all part of a wider recovery effort to prevent further declines of species such as the Tumut Grevillea which are at most risk.

In pursuit of Platypus! We've been eDNA sampling along the Billabong Creek in the Upper Billabong Project Target Area, looking for the presence of Platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) in the system.
