Vinifera

The Vinifera Floodplain Restoration Project will provide a reliable breeding and feeding habitat for fish and waterbirds and will support the forest floodplain and wetland through a process of restoration. Providing water to the total Vinifera forest area, this project will help restore wetland plant communities, help re-establish frog and fish populations and assist floodplain animals such as bats, sugar gliders, to maintain their populations within the forest.
