Habitat loss, fragmentation and modification especially of local and landscape-scale biodiversity corridors has isolated populations of threatened and declining woodland birds on the southern New England tableland. Utilising the results of recent work, this project targetted small groups or ‘focus cells’ of farmers in key areas to protect and re-connect their bush for these birds and other fauna. Emphasis was on bringing together existing and new landholder knowledge and technical resources to improve communication and knowledge sharing for strategically protecting, re-connecting and managing habitat. Engagement was through on-farm meetings, a field day, website, and integration with other initiatives.
