Our Trees Are Growing…

Chelsy from Terrain and Christie from the Cassowary Coast Regional Council are shown here on site where a fire occurred three years ago to this rainforest country near Silkwood.

Trees were replanted alongside the road and weeds have been managed in the Council reserve beside the World Heritage rainforest, which was burnt. Together, Terrain and Council will be monitoring the site to measure the change in the vegetation conditions, including tree heights and weeds. There is no easy fix to burnt vegetation, however improvements have already been noticed. 

This work is part of the Native Vegetation Improvement Project which is funded through the Queensland Government's Natural Resources Investment Program.
