Cardrona Alpine Resort Willows Basin Chairlift: Cardrona Valley
In 2021 Cardrona Alpine Resort installed the Willow’s Basin Chairlift on the southern face of Mt Cardrona, opening up 65 hectares of new skiing and snowboarding in the Soho Ski Area.
Enviroscope provided environmental services in the preparation of an environmental management plan (EMP), Erosion sediment control plans (ESCP’s), and the ongoing surveillance through the construction phase.
This included specific erosion and sediment controls for alpine environments, ensuring the protection of highly sensitive alpine tarns, and ensuring the controls to protect alpine ecologies including endemic species of skinks/geckos and plants were carried out according to recommendations of the project ecologist.
