Only four years into our rehabilitation project, we are seeing numerous species of native flora and fauna spontaneously returning to Fernlea.
To monitor the effects of the project, regular plant, bird and frog surveys are being conducted. So far, over 40 native plant species have been recorded, including the slender wire lily, which is rare in Victoria. Almost 50 bird species have been documented, along with 6 frog species, and there have been some interesting sightings of reptiles and insects.
It is expected that species diversity will increase as the project progresses.
