A workshop on the Rehabilitation and management of disturbed native vegetation was held at the Ulladulla Civic Centre, NSW, on 25-26 October 2006

Are you involved in the rehabilitation of native vegetation? Does your work-site include native vegetation that you need to manage or rehabilitate? Do you participate in local rehabilitation projects? Are you interested in reversing the decline of native plant communities in your area?

Workshop focus

·         The knowledge and skills required to undertake ecological rehabilitation and management of disturbed native vegetation.

Themes included

• The ecological principles essential to planning a rehabilitation project.
• Understanding the task (the goal for the site, planning, resources, assessing site and vegetation condition, issues such as soil health and soil symbionts, provenance, riparian vegetation, impacts on waterways, monitoring and ongoing management, local issues).
• Applying ecological principles to rehabilitation projects (case studies, site visits, demonstration and trialling of techniques). 

The workshops were a mix of presentations by experienced rehabilitation practitioners and visits to selected field sites. Participants were to expand their skills and knowledge, challenge preconceptions, exchange ideas and expertise, work with experts and broaden networks.
