Wolseley Common Conservation Park Management Plan, Adelaide, South Australia’
Department for Environment and Heritage Management Plan Wolseley Common Conservation Park 2006 www.environment.sa.gov.au This plan of management was adopted on 3 July 2006 and was prepared pursuant to section 38 of the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972. Published by the Department for Environment and Heritage, Adelaide, Australia © Department for Environment and Heritage, 2006 ISBN: 1 921238 06 2 Cover photography: Buloke Woodland on gilgai soil (Courtesy of Carla O’Neill, DEH) This document may be cited as ‘Department for Environment and Heritage (2006) Wolseley Common Conservation Park Management Plan, Adelaide, South Australia’. FOREWORD Wolseley Common Conservation Park comprises the former parklands of Wolseley, which is just to the south-east of Bordertown in the Upper South East region of South Australia. This small park of approximately 25 hectares is of great conservation significance. It protects one of the few remaining stands of Buloke Woodland on gilgai soil, a vegetation community, which is classified as endangered under national legislation. The Buloke Woodland conserved by the park has been found to represent the best example of a remnant pure Buloke Low Woodland ecosystem on gilgai soil in South Australia. It is believed that this vegetation community once supported a number of distinct native fauna species. Today, the park is known to provide habitat for threatened bird, reptile and invertebrate species. The park is mainly visited by local residents undertaking casual recreation or nature observation along the walking trail known as the “Buloke Walk”. The Tatiara Aboriginal Community has expressed an interest in the park. Wolseley Common Conservation Park is traditionally associated with Potaruwutj people and it has been suggested that the Buloke Woodland may have been a good source of timber for Aboriginal weaponry prior to colonial settlement. -

NHESP is responsible for the conservation and protection of hundreds of species that are not hunted, fished, trapped, or commercially harvested in the state. The Program's highest priority is protecting the 176 species of vertebrate and invertebrate animals and 259 species of native plants that are officially listed as Endangered, Threatened or of Special Concern in Massachusetts. Endangered species conservation in Massachusetts depends on you! A major source of funding for the protection of rare and endangered species comes from voluntary donations on state income tax forms.

Botanical Name. Acacia
Botanical name Acacia colletioides Benth., London J. Bot. 1: 336 (1842) The botanical name is derived from Colletia (a genus in the family Rhamnaceae) and the Greek suffix -oides (like). Some species referred to Colletia have a resemblance to the spiny, rigid foliage of this Acacia. Common names Wait-a-while, Pin-bush, Spine Bush. Characteristic features Large, prickly, much-branched shrubs. Phyllodes +/- terete, sessile, rigid, straight to shallowly curved, widely spreading, finely 8-nerved (with a distinct inter-nerve space between each nerve), narrowed to needle-like points. Heads sub-globular on short peduncles. Pods strongly curved to openly coiled or twisted. Seeds black and 2/3 sheathed by a conspicuous, orange or yellow aril. Description Habit. Harsh, rigid, prickly, much-branched, dense, rounded, usually multi-stemmed shrubs (0.5)1-3 m tall and about the same across, maturing to single-stemmed small trees 3-4 m tall with a dense canopy occupying 50% of the total plant height, in open sites (e.g. roadverges) it grows as a domed plant with the canopy extending to ground level, in dense vegetation it can grow as a small, erect plant with spindly stems and non-spreading crowns (however, these forms are not common in the Kalannie region). Branchlets. Glabrous or sparsely hairy, scarred where phyllodes have fallen. Phyllodes. More or less terete, sessile, inserted on distinct, yellow stem projections, 1.5-3(-4) cm long, 1-1.5 mm in diameter, rigid, widely spreading, straight to shallowly curved, green, glabrous; longitudinal nerves 8, widely spaced and distinct; apices narrowed to rigid, needle-like points. -

Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988 Protected Flora List November 2019
Department of Environment, Land, Water & Planning Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988 Protected Flora List November 2019 What is Protected Flora? Protected flora are native plants or communities of native plants that have legal protection under the Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988. The Protected Flora List includes plants from three sources: plant taxa (species, subspecies or varieties) listed as threatened under the Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988 plant taxa belonging to communities listed as threatened under the Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988 plant taxa which are not threatened but require protection for other reasons. For example, some species which are attractive or highly sought after, such as orchids and grass trees, are protected so that the removal of these species from the wild can be controlled. For all listed species protection includes living (eg flowers, seeds, shoots and roots) and non-living (eg bark, leaves and other litter) plant material. Do I need a permit or licence? The handling of protected flora is regulated by the Department of Environment, Land, Water & Planning (DELWP) to ensure that any harvesting or loss is ecologically sustainable. You must obtain a ‘Protected Flora Licence’ or Permit from one of the Regional Offices of DELWP if you want to collect protected native plants or if you are planning to do works or other activities on public land which might kill, injure or disturb protected native plants. In most cases, you do not require a Licence or Permit for works or activities on private land, although you may require a planning permit from your local council. -
