Snapshot of our energetic working bee organised by our volunteer project manager Carla Parker. (Click read more for the gallery.)

We appreciate all of her efforts and dedication towards protecting and reinstating the endangered Veresdale Scrub dry vine rainforest in the Scenic Rim and also now in Logan City.

Bilarabyn Reserve is being revegetated with some Envirofund funding for materials and Saturday 7 February  was a planting working bee.  LACA has developed a management plan and is working with Scenic Rim Regional Council who have overall responsibility for managing the site for state government.

Kaye Montgomery  from Ecological Connections has been germinating and raising seedlings of appropiate selected species and provenance  for this project  for LACA as part of the funding allocated for the project.

Local residents living nearby  have close access to a very special place on our planet with vegetation that grows nowhere else in the world. What once covered 10,000 hectates is mostly gone. It is on the brink of extinction (Much like our local koalas) unless we take appropriate action now. Many thanks also to members and enthusiastic but camera shy Champney workers Mimi and Richard who attended. They regularly attend a monthly working bee at Champney's which is another remnant site.

Bilarabyn Reserve is a beautiful area with walking tracks and expansive views extending to the south, west, and north of Beaudesert. Anyone wanting more information about this site or with an interest in helping with the conservation preservation education or revegetation,  please contact LACA on 0408 785448 or via the contact page.
