Hosted over the weekend of the 16-18th of March 2018 at Lane Cove National Park in collaboration with Intrepid Landcare, NPWS, and Willoughby Council.

It was a weekend full of cultural immersion and appreciation thanks to Jess Sinnot from Koori Kinnections, and outdoor adventure, hiking, camping, rowing, and bush regen. Matt Springall from NPWS lead the group through VIP tours on plant ID and the history of Lane Cove. The group walked away with new connections and inspiring stories. They have a set of local projects they are keen to deliver using the project planning and leadership skills they developed over the weekend.

Waverley Council, Office of Environment and Heritage, Greater Sydney Landcare Network, 20:20:20, Habitat Stepping Stone, Urban Ecologists and community members are about to embark on a three year Environmental Trust grant that aims to increase the habitat connectivity in the Bronte and Tamarama sub catchment.

Specifically, the Council would like to see the Superb Fairy Wren disperse through Council Parks, drainage systems and private gardens inwards from the coast again.

A total of 2-3000 people will be engaged by the collaborative of project partners, ultimately hoping that 250 of them will actively improve their habitat elements so that the Wren can travel and nest across a broader range again.
