Large continuous areas of woodland, such as the eucalypt woodlands of the Brigalow Belt, are potentially significant refugia for fragmentation-sensitive birds, and the area of these woodlands under private and public conservation management is increasing substantially. Yet the avifauna of the apparently relatively intact woodlands shows many of the symptoms typically associated with fragmented agricultural regions, such as domination by a single species, the aggressive noisy miner.

This project investigated programs and policies that have been used to encourage the integration of native vegetation management into agricultural systems. The purpose of the study was to identify information that is important in enhancing the outcomes from future policies and identify principles to develop improved guidelines for future programs and policies.
In summary, we have shown that economically, financially and environmentally sound strategies exist for landholders in the mid and upper Goulburn Broken Catchment that will meet catchment management targets. The results indicate possibilities for reorgani
This Final Report follows 4 Milestone Reports that covered research methods, activities and preliminary results. The sections that follow summarise the project objectives; results achieved against those objectives; communication and adoption activities; p
This project aimed to validate landscape design principles from a previous research project (CTC9) at both the single property and larger micro-catchment scales (e.g. clusters of 5-10 properties), and identify the importance of spatial arrangements of vegetation within landscapes at those scales.
