Dr Nicki Taws
Nicki, Program Manager with Greening Australia, will present some of the grassland restoration work that has been undertaken in the ACT region over the past 10 years, sometimes with drastic measures that were required to give native plants the competitive edge.
Abstract
Greening Australia has been restoring native grasslands for the last 15 years, initially in Victoria, now in Tasmania, NSW and ACT. Carefully-researched trials have found that sometimes drastic measures are required to deal with introduced plants and give natives the competitive edge. Nicki Taws, Program Manager with Greening Australia will present some of the grassland restoration work that has been undertaken in the ACT region over the past 10 years. And if time permits, we may also have a brief update on GA’s work on birds in revegetated habitats
