Big Scrub Rainforest Conservancy
About the organisation
The Big Scrub Rainforest Conservancy, (BSRC) was established in 1993 to engage with landholders, government, and the community to lead a restoration program consisting of restoring the remnants, research, and reforesting sections of land to reconnect existing remnants.
The remnants are also a significant resource for research into genetic diversity and the effects of human land use and forest fragmentation on rainforest ecology, which are topics of national and international concern.
Our commitment
Three-year partnership with the BSRC providing $150,000 each year to support some of their key programs.
Key programs
Remnant Care - maintaining and protecting the remaining elements of the original rainforest.
Bird Monitoring Project - to help understand how bird species assemblages are influenced by the
management and disturbance histories of rainforest habitats.
Science Saving Rainforests - a scientific program designed to reverse the lack of genetic diversity in the remnants and regenerated rainforests through identification, propagation and distribution of genome optimised species.
Connecting Community - through community events, education resources, and a schools education program.
