Eucalypt seeds, sown by helicopter, are showing a promising rate of growth in the Mount Cole State Forest. It’s been more than a year since a major bushfire tore through about 22,000 hectares of the forest and surrounds in Victoria’s west.
This sowing project is part of ongoing regeneration work Forest Fire Management Victoria (FFMVic) are undertaking to help the Mount Cole State Forest recover.
The seeds were collected from the local area before the bushfire and held in seed stores before being spread over the forest by helicopter.
FFMVic staff regularly monitor plots set up to gather important scientific data within the sown area.
