Project

Bush Regeneration

Gardens of Stone National Park Bush Regeneration

Client: Department of Planning and Environment | NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service
Duration: 2022-Present
Location: NPWS Kanangra Area

Working within the Gardens of Stone National Park, we implemented our weed control services to protect native habitats and threatened species. After our treatment of invasive species, the project has transitioned into a careful maintenance phase to support long-term ecosystem health.

Method & Technique:

  • Bush Regeneration
  • Targeted Weeding

Project Outcomes:

Our team successfully completed the primary weed control program targeting Blackberry (Rubus fruticosus agg.) at Gardens of Stone National Park, an area recognised for its significant birdlife and threatened species habitat. In addition, invasive Monterey Pine (Pinus radiata) was treated using the ringbarking method to prevent further encroachment into native vegetation The work was carried out by our experienced and AQF3 SMARTtrain Chemical Accreditation certified personnel, using appropriate herbicide application methods to ensure effective treatment while taking extra care to minimise impacts on native flora and fauna. We have now entered the maintenance phase, with ongoing, carefully managed follow-up treatments to support the long-term protection of this sensitive ecosystem.
