BACK TO NATURE - Congratulations Hinterland Bush Links!

Hinterland Bush Links are co-recipients of the Healthy Planet Awards at the 2024 Sunshine Coast Biosphere Community Awards.

Hinterland Bush Links is a not-for-profit organisation who supports landholders with conservation work, empowering them to connect, restore and protect native vegetation across the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. 

They run community volunteer tree planting, weed removal and education events to improve wildlife corridors and enhance biodiversity. 

Winning this award is recognition of their on-going work for over a decade through their Roving Restorers program, a regular volunteer group who assists landholders with weeding and planting; and the Upper Mary Valley Weed Vine project which targets transformer weeds around waterways in the Upper Mary River, helping to improve waterway health. 

Their Koala Habitat project provides practical and effective strategies for coexisting with koalas while promoting the enhancement and expansion of their habitat.

Hinterland Bush Links sees the award as a wonderful opportunity to promote what it means to be part of the Sunshine Coast Biosphere, particularly around people and conservation objectives. They advocate sustainable land stewardship, enhancement of the natural environment and provide practical ways for people to connect with nature.
