Heroes of the Big Scrub: restoring rainforest in Australia.

Heroes of the Big Scrub is an inspiring story of a long-term ecological restoration project. The video showcases people who understood the processes of rainforest restoration ecology, and dedicated much of their life’s work to enabling substantial recovery of this unique Australian rainforest, against all odds.
This is landscape scale restoration, based on bush regeneration skills and techniques. We explore the role of natural regeneration, as well as revegetation focused bush regeneration approaches in supporting and expanding remnants. A key to the story is the enthusiasm of many community members, guided by the wisdom of trailblazers, who saw ecological succession happening in their attempts to restore lowland rainforest. We see and hear how ‘the heroes’ created strategic pathways, processes and resources so that others could follow on this epic restoration adventure.

Good on you I'm trying to plant out my 53 acre farm on the Mersey River in Tasmania in tree's and shrubs for the native animals and birds trying to grow back the forest

Alex i an absolute legend, the work he did to get Coffs Botanical gardens, from the tip, to what we see today, is amazing, fortunate to have met him and have a lot of respect for his work and knowledge

Love it ♥️

Inspirational. Just shows that with a little money, a bit of natural assistance and a heap of work, regeneration is possible.

"This species goes back 180 million years". uhhh, .no. These trees did not self-assemble via undirected processes as per evolution fantasy.

Have you ever considered that pretending to misunderstand something doesn’t fool anyone but yourself? You’re not even fooling yourself about the topic - you’re fooling yourself that you think anyone reads your comment and believes that you actually believe that’s what they meant. As if we’re talking about Pokémon. Petty self-gaslighting.

[@user-sp3wd2nn3e]

@@Freshbott2 you've been brainwashed and indoctrinated most of your life into evolutionism, so much so that you're not even aware that it rests on unproven assumptions. Anyone who believes that something as functionally complex as even one living cell could have come about via undirected processes is either willfully self-deceptive or completely ignorant. Do you even understand the difference between science and conjecture?

[@Grady2242]

Good on them and stuff, but the aborigines have been trying to conserve the land for centuries. So to say these people are pioneers would be completely incorrect.

[@johndavid9418]

You're fighting a losing battle, logging practices need to change or stop or all your effort is wasted.
Aboriginals need to show at least a little interest in the Murry Darling, regrowth & protest logging of "their home land".
Aboriginals are more interested in financial reparations & political power. Aboriginals seem quite content with environmental crimes being committed on "their home land", shame on them !!
Immigrants love Australia more than Aboriginals, their absence & lethargy on this important subject makes me sick !!

[@Sensirebel]

STFU mate, that's a pompous statement. Would you like it if all immigrants or non indigenous Australians were generalized as the perpetrators of environmental crimes, because I'm sure most of the damage isn't being caused by Aboriginals.

[@daleireland]

This isn’t the Murray Darling, this is the northern rivers. The forests these people are repairing aren’t logged anymore.
I think your rant on aborigines probably belongs on a different video.

[@jillianoldfield2300]

You're displaying ignorance and racism. First Nations people all over this continent are putting heart and soul into protecting and restoring their homelands. it's about time Australia's governments paid them a living wage for their work. Not only is that an ethical thing to do, it's the best way to control wildfires and boost resilience to climate change.

Ever heard of something called slander ? be careful, Jill.
I'm not racist & said nothing racist. Their race is of no importance to me or the subject, the health of the Earth is. If I say the English need to look after the Thames River better, would that be racist, too ?
The reason I don't discus Englands issues is because I live in Australia.
Aboriginals have more media clout in relation to environmental issues & I think they should be taking advantage of it & am disappointed they don't.
Btw, Calling me racist doesn't diminish their responsibility to their homeland & doesn't make you a heroine.
