DETAILS

TitleBirds of the South Pine River / project coordinator Rita Larsen.DescriptionWhen Bunya Wildlife Sanctuary closed its doors in 1994, much of the area was converted to a housing development, and the future of the more environmentally-sensitive land along the Eatons Hill reach of the South Pine River was uncertain. In 1997, the then Pine Rivers Shire Council acquired approximately 6 hectares of this land, including the sanctuary premises ... The site was remamed Kumbartcho Sanctuary, and under the direction and energies of members of the Bunya Community Environmental Association with the support of the Pine Rivers Shire Council, the area was cleaned up and a community nursery established. Pine Rivers Catchment Association (PRCA) in partnership with the Council, initiated the South Pine River Project in 2001 with the aim of restoring the critically endangered riparian vegetation, which was heavily infested with weeds. As a consequence of the revegetation project there are now over four kilometres of bush tracks. Data was compiled from fauna surveys ... every year till 2009. Monthly surveys by the Birders of the South Pine River began in 2011 to continue the investigation into the river bank restoration and biodiversity. This booklet is a celebration of the success of this project.Personal authorLarsen, RitaImprintBrisbane, Queensland : Birders of the South Pine River, 2015.LanguageEnglishDate2015Collation70 pages : chiefly colour illustrations ; 21 cm.Bib. formatBooksNotesSpiral binding.; Includes index of profiled birds.
