On this International Day for Biodiversity and National Volunteer week, we’d like to acknowledge all of the work and passion that our dedicated community of conservation volunteers puts into improving and protecting the diversity of all life in our area. Barung was built by volunteers and 37 years later, volunteers still play a key role within our organisation working to restore biodiversity on the Blackall Range and surrounding areas. The crew pictured here have played a large part in turning a kikuyu wasteland into a thriving garden for wildlife that now hums with life. We extend a sincere thank you to all of our volunteers and volunteers everywhere working to improve biodiversity 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

🐣🦎🦋Wildlife moments from the field 🐛🦞🐍

Working in bushland means you never quite know what you’ll come across during the day. While carrying out restoration and w**d management works, our crew were lucky enough to spot a few incredible locals sharing the habitat with us.

Healthy bushland supports an amazing diversity of wildlife, and every w**d removed and every plant restored helps strengthen these habitats for the species that call them home. 🌱
