Once accepted, this Biodiversity Stewardship Site will provide permanent protection and management of approximately 50 hectares of Swamp Oak Floodplain Forest, Swamp Sclerophyll Forest and Wet Sclerophyll forest along NSW’'s South Coast. It will also protect several threatened species including Green and Golden Bell Frogs, Southern Myotis and Maundia triglochinoide. 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.
