Environmental works toolkit

The Environmental Works Toolkit is a set of resources for land managers organising on-ground biodiversity conservation works. The toolkit includes tools for prioritising and planning works, mapping weeds and rabbits, engaging contractors and reporting outcomes. Council uses this toolkit to manage its bushland and wetland reserves .

The toolkit is free to use and adapt. If you do use and adapt the toolkit, please acknowledge the Warrandyte to Kinglake Habitat Corridor Network and the project partners (Nillumbik Shire Council, Parks Victoria, Melbourne Water and the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning).

The toolkit is constantly evolving. If you find it useful or have any comments, contact environment@nillumbik.vic.gov.au
