This project involved a collaboration between the Aboriginal community and the Local Aboriginal Land Council. Murals are displayed at the NNTC office and Toogimbie homestead. 

With support by agencies such as the Environmental Trust, NNTC has been able to carry out extensive revegetation projects and this current program will replant a section linking the River Red Gum forest to the saltbush plains.  NNTC is concentrating its revegetation efforts to complement existing remnant vegetation and in areas where access to water is relatively easier.

This project trialed the use of clay seed balls in a portion of the floodplain wetlands on Toogimbie, to gauge the effectiveness of this type of revegetation.
