    Wellington Park Management Trust THE FERN TREE ENTRY AREA HISTORIC HERITAGE ASSESSMENT, WELLINGTON PARK, TASMANIA Prepared by McConnell, A. October 2014 Wellington Park Management Trust, GPO Box 503, Hobart, Tasmania, 7001. Cover – from bottom clockwise: • Fern Tree Park (2014, A. McConnell) • MWSS Pipeline Track (2014, A. McConnell) • Fern Tree Bower (historical image - 1916, source – J&M Grist (original source – Weekly Courier 5th Oct 1916)) • (to L) MWSS Pipeline Track and path up to and SW corner of Shelter Shed 2 west of the Bower (historical image - 1910 , source – Evans 2014 (original source – TAHO)) • Silver Falls (2014, A.

McConnell) • St Raphaels Church (2014, A. McConnell). Report history - This report has been prepared by the Wellington Park Management Trust to provide background and a detailed historic heritage assessment to assist with managing the historic heritage values of the Fern Tree entry area of Wellington Park. The assessment has been undertaken as the area has increasing visitation, a concentration of historic heritage values, and to inform the proposed Master Plan. The main aim of this assessment is to provide historic heritage information for planning and management. The field research for the assessment was undertaken in June & July 2014. The historic information is taken largely from Evans (2014) history for the Fern Tree Entry Node. This in turn rests heavily on earlier research undertaken by McConnell (2013), Sheridan (1998, 2010), Andrusko 2010, McConnell & Scripps (2005), Scripps (1993) and Hartzell (1993).

  • OHW Summary Report Final
    ORANGE HAWKWEED IN TASMANIA SUMMARY REPORT A BRIEF HISTORY Orange hawkweed (Pilosella aurantiaca subsp. aurantiacais) is an aggressive invasive species that can be found in and around alpine regions in Victoria, NSW and Tasmania. A declared weed in Tasmania, its known distribution across our State is limited to Hobart’s outskirts and the Central Highlands. It has previously also been recorded in Circular Head, Meander Valley, Maydena and Kingborough municipalities. Opinions differ on exactly how this plant made its way into Tasmania, but one fact is certain; without effective control it has significant potential to wreak havoc across our agricultural and natural landscapes. Orange hawkweed is native to alpine regions of Central and Southern Europe THE RISKS TO OUR LANDSCAPES Orange hawkweed poses a serious threat for multiple reasons. It can form dense mats, outcompeting other species – with negative impacts on biodiversity and productivity. It’s an unfussy invader that can establish on sites with a range of soil and climatic conditions, and it can tolerate low-nutrient, acidic or disturbed soils (such as after a fire). Not only that, some species of hawkweed can alter soil chemistry, organic matter levels and microbial activity under patches – changing soil biology to such an extent that other plants can’t establish. Its pollen also has properties that inhibit the pollination, seed germination or seedling growth of other plants. Its current distribution puts it in close proximity to the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area and while it prefers elevations about 1,000m, it can survive at lower altitudes. HOW DOES IT SPREAD? Orange hawkweed can reproduce asexually and establishes via vegetative spread (via stolons and rhizomes) and seed production.
