Remote Ecology in Southwest Queensland – Redleaf in Eulo
Redleaf Group recently completed a protected flora survey in the remote township of Eulo, a region known for its rugged landscapes and ecological significance. The site fell within a protected flora trigger area mapped under the Nature Conservation Act 1992, requiring a Suitably Qualified Person and adherence to strict survey guidelines.
To meet these requirements, Redleaf deployed one of our ecologists, Dr Pawel Waryszak, from the Toowoomba office—travelling via a small aircraft (affectionately dubbed the “flying washing machine”) to reach the site located more than 700 km from the nearest major centre.
Rigorous and Responsible Surveying
Our assessment followed the Queensland Flora Survey Guidelines to ensure every flora species, including those of conservation concern, was accurately recorded. This work reflects Redleaf’s commitment to robust science, detailed documentation, and responsible environmental management, particularly in remote or sensitive landscapes.
Supporting Your Environmental Needs
Beyond flora surveys, our Environment Team supports councils, landholders, government agencies, and industry clients with a full suite of services including:
- Flora & fauna assessments
- Habitat mapping & biodiversity impact studies
- Environmental monitoring and rehabilitation planning
- Offset delivery advice and suitability assessments
- Waterway barrier surveys & aquatic ecology assessments
- Environmental modelling and compliance advice
Whatever your environmental challenge, Redleaf’s multidisciplinary team provides solutions grounded in experience, precision, and practical outcomes.

Through the year our teams undertake training in various areas. Earlier in the year, the ecology team at Redleaf Group spent a day in the field understanding the importance of riparian revegetation and learning about the methods used to support its regeneration. Riparian vegetation refers to the plant life that grows along the banks of rivers, streams, creeks, and other flowing bodies of water. These plants play a vital role in stabilising soil along waterways, helping to reduce erosion and sedimentation. In turn, this supports the health of our ecosystems by maintaining water quality for the plants and animals that depend on these habitats. They visited sites with varying levels of success, which helped them to better understand factors to consider when embarking on revegetation projects. Some factors include suitability of species to be planted, soil types, topography and the existing vegetation. The team are keen to revisit the sites in the coming months and years to see the progress of the little seedlings.
