Canopy Tours conservation efforts begin – Phase 1
In 2013 after running the zipline tour for a year they had saved up $35,000 which was enough money to get started on their conservation dream. ‘Phase 1’ of the conservation project concentrated on a 50ha section of the Reserve, directly around the zipline course. 1100 traps were placed into the forest in August 2013 including rat, mouse, and possum traps with incredible results, and hard lessons learnt.
