Kosciuszko2Coast Region

K2C will focus on an east-west band between Queanbeyan and Cooma linking the edge of Kosciuzko National Park with the western edge of the forests that run along the coastal escarpment. The K2C partnership will focus effort on private and public lands where landholders are interested in a cooperative and voluntary arrangement.

An anchor in the Landscape -"Scottsdale"

The first great stride towards bridging the ecological gap between Kosciuszko and the coast was the purchase in 2006 by Bush Heritage Australia of the 1300 hectare species rich "Scottsdale" property located south of Canberra, 4m north of Bredbo.

"Scottsdale" has a long history as a working farm and cattle grazing is being used as a tool to restore native grasslands. The property still contains a variety of woodland and grassland communities that are regarded as endangered or threatened. It is now being actively managed to control weeds and re-establish native vegetation.
