How do you go about putting a damaged rainforest ecosystem back together? Surely a very big question but one that’s come some way towards being answered by Rainforest Rescue’s project partner The Big Scrub Rainforest Landcare Group.

The Big Scrub, formerly 75,000 hectares now only survives as scattered isolated remnants heavily impacted by weeds. Fortunately the practical efforts of The Big Scrub Rainforest Landcare Group have assisted in saving the remnants of the ecosystem from extinction and along the way have also provided many answers to the question of rainforest repair. This information is now documented in The Big Scrub Rainforest Landcare Group’s manual, ‘Subtropical Rainforest Restoration’ and has been revised and updated in 2nd edition launched on the 23rd of July 2005.

Rainforest Rescue wishes to thank our business supporters who have assisted with the republishing of the Manual.
