Short Title: Bohle River Northshore |
|
Bohle River Community Engagement and School Nursery |
|
Location: North Shore Development. Part of a 60 hectare site within the Stocklands' North Shore development consisting of riparian vegetation (Bohle River and tributaries) and woodland habitat |
|
Organisation: Greening Australia |
|
Project Summary: North Shore, beside the Bohle River, is a relatively new development separated from the main Townsville urban area. This project will focus on engaging the local community to build a sense of ownership for the management of natural areas associated with the development. General habitat management (outside the scope of this project) consists mostly of weed control including Guinea Grass, Chinee Apple and Leucaena under an agreement between Stocklands and Greening Australia. A strategic management plan is also required for the Bohle River downstream of the Bruce Highway to ensure appropriate efforts and management regimes are applied. Greening Australia has indicated their intention to contribute to the development of the strategy with other project partners. |
