Ensuring healthy communities

Our health and wellbeing are inextricably linked with the health of our environment. By engaging local people directly in activities to restore and reconnect degraded landscapes and ecosystems, support biodiversity, and protect the natural and cultural assets that underpin our identity, sense of place and livelihoods, our work results in healthier, happier, more connected communities.

Restoring country, culture and community in hard-hit NSW

The Great Eastern Ranges (GER) initiative has been awarded a significant government grant for a large-scale effort to help restore country, culture and community in four heavily bushfire affected landscapes in New South Wales. Through funding from the Australian and NSW Government’s Bushfire Local Economic Recovery (BLER) Fund, GER is working with its regional partner networks, the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) and the Community Environment Network, to roll out recovery activities in the NSW North Coast, Blue Mountains, South Coast and Far South Coast.

Planting for Pollinators

To help secure the future of our animal pollinators and reduce the risk of disease spill over, GER is working with ecologist Dr Peggy Eby and partners to restore and reconnect flowering trees to boost sources of food for flying foxes and nectar-dependant birds.
