Biodiversity Study for Georges River LGA
| Your Say Georges River
Georges River Council has partnered with Total Earth Care to undertake a Biodiversity Study of the entire Georges River Local Government Area (LGA). The Biodiversity Study will provide an encompassing assessment of the current biodiversity values across the entire LGA. This study aims to identify areas of high biodiversity value and importance to the LGA to ensure its protection. The biodiversity study is currently in its early stages of desktop research which includes the consideration of existing data on the biodiversity and ecological values of the LGA. Both Council and Total Earth Care acknowledge that some of the best existing knowledge comes from the residents of the LGA who interact with our biodiversity every day. We want to hear from you! To have your say fill in the questionnaire and pin your observations on our biodiversity map to share your knowledge and experience of biodiversity in your neighbourhood. We would love to hear about areas that you think are important to support our native plants and animals, any plant or animal sightings of importance and any other comments or suggestions you may have. Your input will contribute to the results of the Biodiversity Study and help guide our field survey which includes the assessment of native plant communities and their condition, assessment of fauna habitat and targeted surveys for threatened plants and animals. A webinar for key stakeholders and community groups engaged on the project will be conducted on the 26th November at 6pm. The webinar will provide an overview on the project and will enable discussions by key groups. This will be recorded and made available for the community to watch. The community is encouraged to participate through the questionnaire below. Stay tuned for more updates!
