🌿 Paradise Lost and Found! 🌏 Tony and Cherie Townsend are transforming Paradise Gully in South Australia from a former vineyard into a sanctuary for native plants and animals, including the vulnerable Regent Parrot. Inspired by the land’s call to return to its natural state, they are reintroducing native vegetation to support wildlife and restore the local ecosystem. 🐦 Their efforts include: 🔹 Planting native vegetation to create habitat and improve soil and water quality. 🔹 Partnering with local groups like the River Murray Youth Council and the River Murray Mallee Aboriginal Corporation, who helped plant over 1,000 native plants. 🌱 Mel Burford, Threatened Species Ecologist, called the project inspiring: “Motivated landholders like the Townsends are crucial to the recovery of the Regent Parrot.” 📖 Read more in the Landcare in Focus Magazine and submit your story for the May 2025 issue! 👉 Click here to explore: https://lnkd.in/gUecFpM9
