Once accepted, this Biodiversity Stewardship Site will provide permanent protection and management of almost 30 hectares of Subtropical Rainforest and Blue Gum Wet Forest along the Illawarra Escarpment of NSW. It will also protect several Threatened species including Illawarra Socketwood, Scrub Turpentine, Little Bent-winged Bat and Large Bent-winged Bat. 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.
