Jamberoo

Narla Environmental Pty Ltd undertook a comprehensive biodiversity assessment of a property in Jamberoo, NSW to establish a Biodiversity Stewardship Agreement. In addition to providing expert ecological advice throughout the project, Narla were engaged to provide the following services:

  • Targeted surveys for threatened flora and fauna

  • Large-scale native vegetation and weed mapping

  • Condition scoring of the vegetation

  • Biodiversity credit calculations

  • Biodiversity Stewardship Site Assessment Report

  • Biodiversity Stewardship Site Management Plan

  • Total Fund Deposit Calculations

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.
