Creating Koala Corridors in Kurrajong was established to restore koala habitats and create a koala corridor through bush regeneration, fencing and revegetation activities. Bringing together neighbouring landholders along Little Wheeny Creek in Kurrajong, collectively thirteen properties were connected into one large project with a common cause. This presentation will look at stage 1 of the project, which ran from 2019-2021, and outline how collaborations and partnerships between landholders and various land care groups achieved more holistic outcomes for the community, the environment and the landholders conserving it. Katherine Clare will then go onto to explore the value in both community capacity funding and workshop opportunities for building skills, noting how support networks form from these community touchpoints.
