Southern emu-wren project

03/08/2022

This last Sunday there was a revegetation day organized by Nature Foundation at Watchalunga Nature Reserve. We planted several lignum, and sedges. Back in 2017, in my thesis project, we recognized these as significant vegetation for the Southern emu-wren swamp habitat. It was one of the most rewarding experiences I had. I am also happy to tell you that previous revegetation campaigns have produced good lignum patches where more wrens have been spotted recently. Thanks to everyone that was involved in the project and thanks to Nature Foundation. It's amazing to see the recovery of swamps and wrens!
