Founding members of The Mosman Parks & Bushland Association (MPBA), Joan and Eileen Bradley, lived in Mosman, where they developed their original insight that native plants, freed from the competition of non-natives, can regenerate and recolonise the edges of weed cleared areas.In 1971 The Mosman Parks & Bushland Association published “Bush Regeneration”, in which the three principles of bush regeneration by the Bradley sisters were outlined for the first time — soon, the National Trust took it up and a TAFE course was established. Allowing their history to speak for itself in its ongoing relevance to saving public land, particularly bushland in urban situations, this presentation shares the Bradley sisters’ story and the origins of Bush regeneration, the continuing value of applying their methods today, as well as how the MPBA is working to continue the sisters’ legacy.Presenter: Kate Eccles Oam.Powerpoint slides: The Bradley Sisters — The Origin and Development of Bush Regeneration and its ongoing relevance.#NationalLandcareConference#LandcareConf22#UrbanLandcare
