On this project you will be assisting with the Marginal to Mainstream Program - ongoing research into the grazing pressure from herbivores in the Reserves and maintenance of the sites. There are 5 sites in total in the program. Volunteers will be helping with the maintenance of 2 exclosure sites by removing weeds from the electric fence, undertaking simple vegetation surveys and checking images on the remote sensor cameras.
Moorunde and Nardoo Wildlife Reserves consist of just over 7,000 hectares of mallee country, located between Blanchetown and Swan Reach on the south side of the Sturt highway. Prior to establishment as wildlife sanctuaries, the land had been cleared for sheep grazing, wood fuel and charcoal production.
The Reserves are home to many native wildlife species including the Southern Hairy-nosed Wombat. Volunteers maintain the reserve and its biota, removing weeds and repairing tracks and damaged fences. Research projects are ongoing including monitoring wombat populations and DNA analysis of wombat scat to determine the species of plants they eat.
