World-class environment vision for Mt Lofty Ranges

Associate Professor David Paton AM from the University of Adelaide will spearhead a world-class project to help revegetate the Mount Lofty Ranges, to stave off the effects of climate change and halt the loss of bird, animal and plant species. The multi-million-dollar program aims to:

• help re-establish native vegetation to 30% of the Mt Lofty region – an unprecedented scale globally
• prevent the loss of native flora and fauna
• promote the return of some native species that have disappeared across the Ranges
• provide major environmental outcomes that will benefit the State and local communities for generations to come

Glenthorne, a 228ha property owned and operated by the University about 17km south of Adelaide, will play a pivotal role in delivering these outcomes.
