Maximising woodland bird diversity in Brigalow Belt forests

This project, developed in partnership with Australian Bush Heritage, will provide key information to maximise the conservation value of the nationally significant Brigalow Belt woodlands.

The project will increase our understanding of biodiversity, specifically woodland bird ecology, in subtropical woodland environments by identifying the impact of extensive habitat management and noisy miner invasion on avian assemblages of Brigalow Belt woodlands and develop and refine existing strategies for improving habitat restoration, particularly during transition from production to conservation tenures. It will develop and communicate strategies for the minimisation of negative impacts of noisy miners and improvement of habitat quality for woodland birds.

Outcomes

1. To substantially increase our understanding of biodiversity, specifically woodland bird ecology, in subtropical woodland environments by identifying the impact of extensive habitat management and noisy miner invasion on avian assemblages of Brigalow Belt woodlands.

2. To develop and refine existing strategies for improving habitat restoration for biodiversity in Brigalow Belt forests and woodlands, particularly during transition from production into conservation tenures.

3. To improve biodiversity management of the forest and woodland vegetation of Carnarvon Station and the broader Brigalow Belt woodlands through the development and communication of strategies for the minimisation of negative impacts of noisy miners and improvement of habitat quality for woodland birds.
