Wetlands are areas of land where water covers the soil (e.g. marshes, lakes, lagoons, mudflats or mangroves), while creeks are natural streams of water that are typically smaller than a river. Victoria's wetlands and creeks sustain a complex ecosystem of more than 1,800 native plants, 600 species of native animals, as well as communities across the state.
These areas are a critical part of our environment as they can absorb pollutants and improve water quality, provide a habitat for plants and animals to thrive, protect shores from wave action, reduce erosion by slowing the flow of water, lessen the impact of floods and provide space for recreational activities.
Both human and non-human communities rely on Victoria's natural and man made creeks and wetlands as a home to endangered species and sites of significance to Indigenous groups, with several wetlands also listed in the Ramsar Convention as being of International Importance.
We are passionate about constructing and restoring wetlands and creek lines. Our Directors have over 10 years' combined experience in creating and enhancing both natural and man made ecosystems, including the establishment of habitats for protected species, such as the growling grass frog.
Parks and reserves include land that is left in a relative natural state, with facilities for rest and recreation, for public enjoyment. Victoria has a large and diverse range of parks and reserves, including bushland, sporting reserves, foreshore areas, wetlands, parks and gardens. These areas include a range of recreational trails, which allow people to explore the natural environment by walking, riding, skipping, skating, pushing, scootering or rolling.
Our team is experienced in constructing park and reserve facilities including bushland areas, walking and cycling paths, playground and fitness equipment, shelters, bbq and picnic areas, furniture, as well as turf and garden installation.
Goal 15 of the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals is to, "Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss". One of the key strategies to achieve this is large scale planting.
As a natural vehicle of carbon capture and storage, trees are one of our strongest tools to reduce carbon emissions. However it is not just the tree itself that reduces carbon, but the entire forrest ecosystem, the wood, roots, leaves, deadwood, soil and vegetation, can capture over 400 tonnes of carbon per hectare. In addition to carbon management, trees also provide shelter, prevent flooding, reduce city temperatures, reduce pollution and improve the nutrient value of the surrounding soil.
Forests and woodlands covered over 90% of Victoria prior to European settlement. But development has reduced the forest cover by more than half, so that now only 35% of the State is forested. Restoring forest ecosystems and conducting large scale planting programs in urban environments, creates a safe haven for wildlife, boosts biodiversity, and improves the health and wellbeing of the local community.
Throughout their careers, our team have planted and overseen the planting of over two million tubestock, shrubs, mature trees and aquatic plants, including the establishment of environments to support endangered species such as the helmeted honeyeater and leadbeater's possum. We work with clients to identify species that are endemic to your local area, while meeting your functional and aesthetic needs.
