Our Work

Our passion is protecting endangered species for future generations to enjoy, and we do that through the provision of quality habitat.  We are currently focused on protecting six species of flora and fauna.

Fauna

  • Greater Glider 
  • Koala 
  • Grey Headed Flying Fox 
  • Swift Parrot

Flora

  • Blue gum on alluvium ecological community 
  • Meleleuca Irbyana

Queensland blue gum woodlands

We’re mad for Queensland blue gum woodlands – so quintessentially Australian. Wouldn’t it be tragic if we lost them? Well, technically they are a threatened ecological community, and we’re doing our best to restore it. 


Did you know that there is only 1.5% of the pre clearing blue gum woodland still existing today and only 56 hectares is protected in reserves?  Cherish has already replanted and protected 65 hectares with another 110 hectares underway. 


Queensland Blue Gum woodland is a biologically productive ecosystem that provides food and shelter for a wide range of animals including kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, bandicoots, birds, bats, native rats and mice, reptiles and many invertebrates. 

The grassy floodplains and deep-rooted trees play a prominent role in intercepting, storing and recycling nutrients, protecting soil from erosion, reducing stream sediment loads during high intensity rainfall events and regulating ground water. 


Large mature trees also develop hollows that provide important nesting and roosting sites for a range of birds and arboreal mammals including the greater glider.
