Toolijooa Environmental Restoration

A leading provider of environmental management and restoration services throughout the Greater Sydney Region and South East Queensland

With over two decades of experience, Toolijooa has built a strong reputation for providing top-quality natural area management and restoration services. Our specialty lies in managing, restoring, and enhancing native vegetation and endangered ecological communities, offering value to our clients and promoting the preservation of Australia's natural heritage for the long term.

Toolijooa has been managing and restoring indigenous vegetation communities throughout the Greater Sydney region since 1999. Our expertise draws from works at hundreds of sites in all of Sydney’s major indigenous vegetation communities, including extensive experience within the region’s Endangered Ecological Communities. Toolijooa's Bushland Regeneration teams provide comprehensive natural area management and restoration services across the full spectrum of site conditions, from heavily degraded creek lines to high-quality remnant vegetation.
Toolijooa’s Special Projects division was formed to manage specialist and larger-scale natural area rehabilitation and reconstruction projects that deviate from more traditional bush regeneration. These include construction-type projects, natural area rehabilitation where higher levels of intervention are required, or more specific/targeted bushland management works such as noxious weeds control. Our Special Projects team is led and coordinated by a dedicated Project Manager to ensure efficient resource allocation and delivery of quality services and outcomes. We allocate a specific Site Supervisor, whose knowledge and experience will best serve the site and the work required for the duration of the contract. We prioritise the retention of our supervisors on individual sites for longer-term, rolling, and renewed contracts to maintain continuity of management and capitalise on their accumulated site knowledge.
Toolijooa’s founding business, Toolijooa Nursery (now Forest Nurseries Pty Ltd) has been in operation since 1997. Toolijooa Nursery specialises in the collection and propagation of provenance native seed and cuttings throughout the Sydney Basin and beyond. Toolijooa Nursery establishes plants in low phosphorus fertiliser, low moisture, and full sun conditions to ensure the production of tough, hardy plants with high field survival rates. Stock is supplied in tubes, hiko cells, and a range of larger containers up to 100L in volume.
