Albury-Wodonga Biodiversity

Work Charles Sturt has been doing

  • Charles Sturt University has an ongoing partnership with the NSW Department of Planning and Environment, in order to create effective plans that support the conservation of this species on campus.
  • Key habitat areas within the Albury-Wodonga Charles Sturt University campus were formally ratified as biodiversity zones in 2017 by the Vice Chancellor’s leadership team.
  • Campus maintenance occurs in a way that helps facilitate frog movement between areas at critical times of the year.
  • Charles Sturt encourages and helps host a range of community education events designed to raise awareness on appropriate stewardship of Sloane’s Froglet habitat.
  • Promoting engagement activities such as tree planting days for Biodiversity Month in September which contributes towards Charles Sturt’s commitment towards enhancing biodiversity value on campus year on year.
