A major bamboo infestation has been defeated!
On a high altitude rainforest property in Springbrook that was purchased for addition to the national park system some years ago, ARCS volunteers working with Parks Service interns have finally removed a major bamboo infestation and the shoots of native rainforest trees are already sprouting. We have a huge task ahead of us, regenerating rainforest on these properties, and saving the Parks Service hundreds of thousands of dollars because the work is done mostly by volunteers and costs underwritten by profits from accommodation businesses Koonjewarre.com and Springbrook Lyrebird Retreat (lyrebirdspringbrook.com) which we manage expressly for the purpose of supporting rainforest regeneration.

Ankida Nature Refuge
ARCS is custodian of the Ankida Nature Refuge on Springbrook gifted to us by the generous former owners to protect in perpetuity.
We visited the remote lower basin last month accompanied by Ranger in Charge Steve Foreman to assess access, wildlife and w**d control concerns.
