We Want to Hear About Your Project

Have you undertaken a restoration project on your land, which supports the recovery of an ecosystem that has been degraded, damaged or destroyed?


We want to hear from private landowners who have undertaken a planned activity that assists the recovery of an ecosystem and supports biodiversity. It can include a range of actions – like restoring hydrological flows, planting native species, managing weeds and pests, or managing land management pressures, for the purpose of ecosystem or biodiversity recovery.


We are looking for landholders to answer questions about what was important and things learned during different stages (i.e. from planning to maintenance).

A summary report+ will be provided to government, with recommendations that are based on your experiences. This is aimed to improve the design, funding, support and delivery of programs for landholders wanting to undertake restoration activities.

If you may be interested and would like to know more, please fill in the interest form below and someone from our team will get in touch.


+all identifiable information will be removed and kept confidential.

This project is funded under the Australian National Environmental Science Program, and is delivered by Alicia Kennedy (Senior Research Fellow at the University of Queensland), through the Society Nature and Place Lab Group lead by Associate Professor Angela Dean.

Some beautiful stretches of river, and some great young experiences, but native fish abundance was far from what it could be.
