AABR has received funding from the NSW Environmental Trust to develop an online platform to assist with the planning, implementation and monitoring of on ground work in response to specific local conditions.
The aim of the project is to provide comprehensive, integrated ecological restoration knowledge for practitioners including professional Bush Regenerators, Landcarers, Bushcarers, Ecologists, Local and State government staff, private businesses, TAFE teachers and students, academics and others.
We wish to create a community of practice to share experiences, ideas and techniques, identify knowledge gaps and opportunities.
The first stage will concentrate on NSW, as it is funded through a NSW grant, but future stages will take the project Australia wide.
The project will incorporate existing resources compiled by AABR and others which reflect best practice environmental restoration or aspects of it.
We will be working with stakeholders to refine existing good guidance to reach best practice standards and to create new resources.
AABR is calling upon all our members and partners to join in this collaborative project, initially by completing an online survey, promoting the project, and distributing the survey through your networks.
Here are some initial actions you can take to contribute and stay up to date with the project.
- Share the project introduction with your networks – pdf
- Complete the survey, if you’re based in NSW – ERIK NSW Survey
- Join the new facebook group – AABR ERIK Project | Facebook
We’re really looking forward to your participation. For more information, contact Sandy Eager, ERIK Project Officer, mobile 0410 147 454, email projects@aabr.org.au
