Foundation Projects in Queensland
Koala Conservation Grants in the Redland City Council Area
During 2009 and 2010, the Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife, AGA Germany and the Redlands City Council partnered to contribute funds to restore Koala habitats in the Redlands area. With the funds, Koala Conservation Grants of $500 to $2,000 were given to owners of properties in the Redland City Council area that have Koala Conservation Agreements on their properties through the council's Koala Conservation Agreement Program (KCAP).
Koala Community Plantings
This project will be used to educate the local Redland community on the benefits of restoring a target area for Koalas, wildlife and the local environment. Currently, the site is infested with environmental weeds. Large-scale weed control, site preparation and planting of up to 5000 local native plants will take place on the site. It is the first stage of connecting a corridor for a wildlife and Koala linkage.
