Initial site inspections showing the extent of the weed infestation following previous clearing of the rainforest.

The current revegetation site is "Emerald Waters", a rehabilitating rainforest block under the care of the Australian Rainforest Foundation. This site is the third site in the Daintree, with the other two now revegetated. As a new site, much work is required in clearing weeds and preparing the ground for the tree planting.

Photographs of the site have been posted October 2007.

The revegetation site is strategically located on the coastal strip north of the Daintree River, in the heart of the Daintree rainforest.

High quality world heritage rainforest adjoins the site. It was once cleared for potential development, and our trees will return it to rainforest.
