Springbrook Rescue - World Heritage Rainforests

Northern-most snowgrass in Australia
On a high altitude Parks Service property managed by ARCS on the Springbrook plateau, visiting botanist Liu Weber recently revealed the northern most snowgrass field in Australia, a relict of the last ice-age. Liu also found a unique Sphagnum moss species on the property only known from Springbrook. Liu has been working with our bush regenerator Kevin on our rainforest regeneration strategy.

Removing a bamboo infestation, Springbrook National Park.
ARCS volunteers removing a bamboo infestation on high conservation value land that was saved in the parks system by the state government through the ARCS-inspired Springbrook buy-back program. The non government Springbrook Rainforest Restoration project has saved the state taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars because regeneration work is done by volunteers or by our single employee. The project is entirely financed by the profit from ecotourism accomodation businesses Springbrook Lyrebird Retreat (https://lyrebirdspringbrook.com/) and Koonjewarre camp (https://koonjewarre.com/)
