We are excited to announce that, along with project partner Eco Warriors Australia<\/a>, we have received funding from Victorian Landcare to construct wildlife rope bridges with the Yarra Ranges community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recent storm damage and fuel break construction has left sections of the Yarra Ranges National Park with large gaps in the canopy. These gaps can represent a significant movement barrier for tree-dwelling wildlife and leave them vulnerable to predation and being hit by cars where there are roads nearby. Wildlife rope bridges can help arboreal wildlife to cross areas where there are large gaps in the canopy.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volunteers from the local community will create sections of simple flat rope bridge in a series of eight community workshops. Ecologists and arborists from our partner Ecology and Restoration Australia, in collaboration with Parks Victoria, will install the bridges in key fuel break\/storm-affected locations in the Yarra Ranges National Park. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
