Use existing native plant nurseries and investigate establishing new ones to support restoration work and provide opportunities for local communities.
Why it is Important?
In addition to their value to restoration projects, native plant nurseries can be a driver for local employment and provide a springboard into other industries. There are also great opportunities for Traditional Owner involvement, providing social, cultural and environmental outcomes.
Examples of Local Action
- Manage staffing, support and utilisation of existing nurseries to ensure their ongoing successful operation.
- Investigate funding and integration of micro-nurseries.
- Identify and support ‘champions’ who can help drive local nurseries, as well as manage succession to ensure their ongoing management.
