Yurol-Ringtail State Forest Conservation Project

The Yurol-Ringtail State Forest Conservation Project is one of the largest conservation projects
undertaken in Noosa Shire. Project funding partners include Noosa Parks Association, State
Government and Noosa Council. Ultimately, 2400ha of State Forest land will transfer over to National
Park over a 10 year period. 750ha of pine plantation is to be restored to a natural condition, making
this project one of the largest ecological restoration projects in South-east Queensland and a project of
great significance to Council and the community. Once restored it will provide important connectivity
across the Noosa landscape supporting vital habitat for native flora and fauna.
