Big Scrub Rainforest Landcare Group, NSW
Big Scrub Rainforest Landcare Group in NSW was formed by a group of people
who were concerned about the increasing degradation of many of the Big
Scrub Rainforest Remnants.
This rainforest was once the largest expanse of sub-tropical rainforest
in Australia. The mission of the group is to save the Big Scrub &
its magnificent biodiversity. Today, less than 1 per cent of this rainforest
remains as fragmented remnants scattered over many hectares. At least
28 species of threatened flora & 22 species of threatened fauna occur
in the remnants, which are of high conservation value. The long-term goal
of the group is to effectively manage all the Big Scrub Remnants.
 
The group aims to involve the wider community in the area to raise awareness
of the need to actively manage, rehabilitate & restore rainforest
remnants. Overall the group has made a highly significant contribution
to conserving, enhancing and connecting the remnants of the Big Scrub
Rainforest, and furthering the work, to extend to the conservation of
all subtropical rainforests in north-eastern NSW and south-eastern Queensland.
