The Central Coast ‘Land for Wildlife’ program is now offering free, and low-cost, bush regeneration services in specific corridors of rural land in Gosford and Wyong Council areas. See maps below.

  The offer is part of a project funded by the NSW Environmental Trust named ‘Regeneration of Wildlife Corridors through Land for Wildlife’. The project hopes to persuade landholders in the corridors to join Land for Wildlife and receive one free day of bush regeneration and up to three further days at low cost. Land for Wildlife (LfW) is an Australia-wide program supporting landholders who provide habitat for native wildlife on their land. The Community Environment Network (CEN) is the NSW state coordinator of LfW, as well as running the Central Coast regional program. Gosford and Wyong Councils are currently funding the local LfW program. 

Wildlife corridors are important for conservation. Some native animals, such as the Yellow-bellied Glider, need to be able to move over hundreds of hectares for food, habitat and mates. Connections between good quality bushland areas are essential for these species.

Yet all animal populations need to be able to move around the landscape in order to respond to changing conditions and survive in the longer-term. Being able to move in a north-south direction is especially important in the face of changing climate.

Infestations of environmental weeds, such as Lantana, are a major problem in many of our coastal native plant communities. Focusing bush regeneration effort on these weeds within a wildlife corridor provides a large ecological pay-off.
