The River to River Corridors Project is a NSW Environmental Trust grant funded project between the City Of Ryde and Hunters Hill Councils in partnership with the SMCMA.

The project aims to establish new and enhanced habitats for, in particular small birds and other fauna to reconnect fragmented bushland between the Lane Cove and Parramatta Rivers that has previously been disconnected by urban development, to enable fauna and flora species to move between bush sites for essential survival and conservation. The connecting of fragmented areas will also assist fauna including threatened Powerful Owl and declining birds and bats, to move through and survive in this landscape.

The River to River Corridors Project is currently in year 2 of a 3 year project utilising scientific surveys to design and implement strategic corridor plantings, and monitor fauna population responses whilst employing bushcare support from both Council’s to utilise best practise habitat restoration techniques to enhance connectivity of urban bushland along key corridors.
