Omeo Valley Plantings project is an environmental restoration initiative focused on increasing the presence of native ecological vegetation communities in a previously cleared landscape, thereby providing habitat and connectivity for local native species. Another key objective is to enhance water quality in local rivers and catchments through ridge and gully restoration. The project’s location and targeted restoration zones enable us to design a monitoring program that can track changes in vegetation community composition and quality at the site level from pre-project baseline over time. This program will calculate a condition score (Econd®) using survey and analysis techniques as outlined in the CO2 Australia Native Vegetation Econd® Method (NV-02) and the EnviroDNA Aquatic Native Vertebrate eDNA Method (F-05).
