Transforming the Great Ocean Road, one forest at a time

FOREST UPDATE // In August 2016, we partnered with Peter & Bill Wood to revegetate their property along the Great Ocean Road, thus kickstarting our Great Ocean Road Restoration Project, supported by Europcar.

 

“Our vision is to convert this ‘un-farmable’ land back to native forest, blending into the existing forest that surrounds much of the property," the Wood brothers explained.

 

A couple of weeks ago, we went back to the planting site to check on the growth of our trees, and we were very pleased with the results so far! Greenfleet's Eoghan commented: “I conducted a monitoring survey across 22 plots, randomly selected across the site. The results were great with an average stocking rate of 700 stems per hectare. Some of the Eucalypts and Blackwoods are already one metre tall!”
