Byron wins praise for environmental work
The Cape Byron Headland Trust's littoral rainforest restoration project, which re-established 15 hectares of degraded littoral rainforest vegetation at Cosy Corner (Cape Byron State Conservation Area), was featured in the 2006-07 NSW Environment Trust annual report.
Over 500 hours of professional regeneration work and 290 volunteers were involved in this successful outcome of a $21,700 funded project.
The Big Scrub Rainforest Landcare Group was also mentioned for its ongoing preservation and restoration of remnants of the Big Scrub which once covered a large tract of the NSW North Coast.
In 2006-07 the group was awarded a grant of $99,970 for rehabilitation work.
