This project’s requirement was to undertake systematic forest health and flora surveys across a diverse range of ecosystems in Eastern Victoria.

July has marked the completion of a significant portion of works for Envite Victoria conducting a rigorous science-based forest monitoring program in the eastern part of Victoria, on behalf of DEECA (the State Department of Environment, Energy and Climate Action).

This project involved attending and undertaking a series of complex, often remote, assessments at monitoring sites across Central Gippsland, Far East Gippsland and the North-East (encompassing the state of the forest ecosystems of the eastern part of Victoria).

Specialist Envite field staff with experience in botany, remote field-work and an understanding of working in our diverse floristic environments undertook several months of travel to various sites, remote hiking, and surveying across a wide range of environments.

“This is a fantastic project to be involved in, as it highlights Envite staff’s detailed understanding of the flora of the South-East, as well as their depth of experience working in remote and challenging environments, it is a very satisfying project to be involved in”.

Envite Environment staff specializing in data collection, botany and vegetation assessments successfully completed rigorous flora surveys and forest health assessments on 52 monitoring sites. Staff utilized specialist equipment often working in remote and complex forest environments.

This project was carried out on behalf of Victoria State Government – DEECA (Department of Environment, Energy and Climate Action) across the public land estate; including National Parks and Reserves, State Forest.
