Byron Shire Council has created an online Wildlife Corridors Map—a powerful tool designed to help landholders, community groups, and nature stewards restore and protect vital habitat across the region! Its a great blueprint to follow to support better habitat connectivity! It's based on the shires most threated and least mobile native species, helping to provide a guide to prioritise where best to connect patches of healthy habitat, and where to focus efforts on restoration.

By exploring the map, you can:

• See if your property falls within a wildlife corridor.
• Identify local threatened species that may benefit from your habitat restoration efforts.
• Access tailored native plant lists suited to your area.
• Get practical tips on creating or enhancing wildlife-friendly spaces.

Whether you’re planning a backyard planting, managing a rural property, or coordinating a community project, this tool empowers you to make informed, meaningful contributions to local biodiversity.

Together, we can help reconnect and regenerate the landscapes that our native species call home.
