“Connecting the Dots – Buloke Protection” will target the Balliang plains, from the foothills of the Brisbane Ranges to the You Yangs where scattered Bulokes are seen throughout the landscape.

The project will incorporate an extensive landholder incentives and engagement program to assist with the mapping of the last remnants of Bulokes in the district. The landholder incentives program will aim to raise awareness of the Bulokes in the area and the plant communities that they reside in and provide much needed on ground support in the protection of the species. The program will include targeted pest plant and animal control works, stock exclusion fencing, targeted revegetation works around the remnants to increase the number of individual Bulokes and establish the supporting vegetation underneath. Where the opportunity arises, establish biolinks between the scattered trees and patches, and encourage permanent protection over these areas.
