ENVIRONMENT
At Habitat Creations, we’re proud of our position as leaders in the Conservation and Land Management industry in Greater Melbourne and Gippsland.
CONSERVATION & LAND MANAGEMENT
At Habitat Creations, our highly experienced and skilled teams provide our clients with exceptional capability and versatility in our revegetation and environmental weed control services.
Our ability to work in almost any environment, including remote coastal and mountainous regions, nature parks and reserves, waterways, farmland, constructed landscapes, and offset sites, is what sets us apart.
We have Conservation & Land Management teams servicing clients across Greater Melbourne, and throughout Gippsland.
Revegetation
Our revegetation services help water authorities, local government, and private landholders remediate and enhance terrestrial and riparian ecosystems to increase native habitat and biodiversity.
With extensive environmental experience, we’re able to play an important practical consultancy role in revegetation projects to ensure high plant survival rates and better ecological outcomes.
Our internal Horticulture and Nursery resources are able to add another layer of capability to our revegetation projects by offering our seed bank, and seed collection services to projects that specify local provenance plants. Typical revegetation projects range from a handful of plants, to upwards of 150,000 plants per project site.
