This project aims to improve our technical knowledge of what vertebrate fauna uses farm forestry plantations in south east Queensland. Through the necessity to measure habitat attributes, this project has also documented flora occurring in these plantations. The project also commences to identify ways to enhance vertebrate diversity in farm forestry plantations. From this project and similar studies elsewhere in Australia, the technical information generated will allow further development of farm forestry planting guidelines to ensure the potential of farm forestry to contribute to biodiversity maintenance and restoration is realized.
