This project will create and restore a strategic habitat corridor throughout 29 ha of the landscape of the mid Richmond River, which will expand habitat for the Nationally Threatened Koala whilst linking the existing Tucki Tucki Nature Wilson's River - Reserve, through an area of Nationally Threatened Lowland Rainforest to an Connecting Riparian extended Riparian Corridor along the Richmond River. A total of 5.5 ha of Wetlandcare Australia 20MTR2-37 and Reserve Koala $107,229.10 5,000 NSW previously cleared native vegetation will be replanted creating 1500 m of Pty Ltd Habitat and restoring riparian corridor to link existing riparian Koala habitat remnants on the Wilson's TEC River and 750 m of terrestrial corridor to link riparian habitats with nearby terrestrial Koala habitat remnants. Restoration works across 23.5 ha will enhance condition of the linked existing habitat. Pelican Island, part of Woregore Nature Reserve, is in the Hastings River near Port Macquarie NSW.
