This project was to conserve biodiversity in prioritised locations through the identification and management of actively eroding tracks and trails which were affecting nearby bushland areas.  It promoted and demonstrated best practice management and rehabilitation by undertaking on ground work at identified high priority sites.

Some educational and awareness raising was undertaken occurred at each demonstration site such as community workshops, best practice promotional fact sheets/brochures and signage.

Priority areas included:

• Tracks and trails in bushfire prone land and areas commonly used by recreational 4WD groups.
• Actively eroding tracks and trails upslope of remnant bushland/endangered ecological communities and near watercourses/riparian zones.
• Catchments that flowed into priority receiving waters.
• Tracks and trails that have been made redundant or identified to be retired that are in priority bushland areas.

Project Progress: Project completed in June 2009.  Three sites were rehabilitated ? Wheeler Creek (near Cromer), Manly Dam mountain bike track and Appin East Crown Reserve.
