Systematic weed control, particularly lantana removal, has already restored 70 hectares of native ecosystems and now this important work can continue more efficiently across the property.
This is great news for the 15 threatened animal and plant species found at Curramore and for the Koalas, Subtropical Antechinus, Red-necked Wallabies, rare Golden-tipped bats and endangered Richmond Birdwing Butterflies, to name just a few, that find refuge here.
