Humans don’t like their world to be messy, complex or untidy. This webinar will explore how to nurture nature by planning native revegetation projects that support natural regeneration and restore complexity in modified landscapes.

Beth Mott and Jedda Lemmon will discuss what landholders can do to help restore ecological function on their property, including design tips to minimise the impact of predators and natural elements to include in regeneration sites. Learn how messing it up and thinking ‘outside the box’ can enhance habitat for endangered species and the difference landholders implementing these changes are making in the landscape.

Speakers

Beth Mott is an ecologist and Threatened Species Officer currently working for the Saving Our Species (SoS) Program, Department of Planning and Environment NSW. Beth has worked as a researcher, university lecturer and NPWS Ranger on frog decline, quolls and fox baiting, feral cats, urban owls, communication in lizards and fish and improving plantations for fauna. She currently manages rainforest communities and builds habitat corridors for Glossy Black-cockatoos. She is driven to find ways in which nature and human endeavours can align, to create excellent results for biodiversity. While Beth has not achieved her childhood dream of either marrying or becoming David Attenborough, she finds teaching people about how to create biodiverse environments in their own patch just as rewarding.

Jedda Lemmon is a Senior Ecologist with the NSW Biodiversity Conservation Trust. She is a flora ecologist with rich and diverse experience in threatened flora recovery and research, flora survey and monitoring, vegetation classification and mapping, landscape planning, restoration and private land conservation. She has worked from the East Coast across to the Western Plains of NSW. She is passionate about learning directly from field observations and working with the natural resilience in the landscape to get species diverse restoration outcomes.

The audience will be able to ask questions via the chat function on Zoom and the presentation will be recorded.

You will be sent a Zoom link the day before the event via email.
