Brett McNamara, Operations Manager, Namadgi National Park, Territory and Municipal Services recently announced that 30,000 tress where planted in the Murrumbidgee Corridor’s Gigerline Nature Reserve to help rebuild the ecosystem.
“The planting was a joint effort between ACT Parks and Conservation Service and Outward Bound volunteers and is a significant step towards restoring the Gigerline Nature Reserve to a habitat suitable for many regionally extinct species,” Mr McNamara said.
The 30,000 trees that were planted in the Gigerline Nature Reserve is of a plan to plant 300,000 trees in the Murrumbidgee River Corridor over a ten year period and also part of the ACT Government’s commitment to plant one million new trees across the Territory.
