A big thank you to Chris Lucy and the team at Backyard Eco Landscapers for their great work planting out Stage 2 of the Newstead Remnant Bush Project.

This is a tough site in places, and the team did a fantastic job getting the plants in the ground and helping us take another important step towards restoring and enhancing this special remnant of native bush.

It’s great to work with local businesses who understand the value of restoration projects like this.
