In addition to providing expert ecological advice throughout the project, Narla were engaged to provide the following services:

  • Condition scoring of the vegetation

  • Biodiversity credit calculations

  • Biodiversity Stewardship Site Assessment Report

Once accepted, this Biodiversity Stewardship Site will provide permanent protection and management of almost 7 hectares of critically endangered Cumberland Plain Woodland in Western Sydney. The Biodiveristy Credits that can be generated by conserving this land will cover all ongoing management costs with the potential to provide additional income for the landowner.
