May Activity Details: Meeting - 3 May 2024. Outing - 5 May 2024

Meeting, 3 May 2024

Justine Rice of Lockyer Uplands Catchments Inc. As LUCI's project coordinator, Justine manages two conservation projects, one being Bunyas to Border, which is part of the Great Eastern Ranges (GER) and International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) Koala Climate Corridors project.  It involves LUCI working with local partners to enhance the critical koala habitat corridor in the western ‘horn’ of the Greater Border Ranges, which covers the landscape from Main Range, Helidon Hills and the Bunyas; an important movement pathway for wildlife and an area rich in many threatened native animals and plants.
