Cool Temperate Mixed Forest Investigation Report
INVESTIGATION REPORT COOL TEMPERATE RAINFOREST & MIXED FOREST RAINFOREST SITE OF SIGNIFICANCE (EG85 - Hensleigh - Far Creek) COAST RANGE ROAD VicForests Logging coupe 886-509-0012 Abstract Sections of VicForests scheduled logging coupe 886-509-0012 were investigated to assess the presence and extent of Cool Temperate Rainforest and Cool Temperate Mixed Forest communities. Areas of Cool Temperate Rainforest were identified within coupe 886-509-0012. These areas of the study location were readily identified by the presence of rainforest character species and the comparative structural composition of these stands to those expected to be found in mature rainforest. Cool Temperate Mixed Forest (Mixed Forest) areas of the study location within coupe 886-509- 0012 were identified by noting the presence of characteristic Mixed Forest species including in their formation of a multi-layer structured community comprised of Mixed Forest character species of an advanced age class, the presence of cool temperate rainforest character and differential species, and the topographic contiguity and relative proximity between the Mixed Forest areas within coupe 886-509- 0012 and the extant Mixed Forest clearly identifiable in the adjacent forest areas immediately to the north of coupe 886-509-0012 across Coast Range Road in the Errinundra National Park. This investigation also notes that coupe 886-509-0012 is located within a “Rainforest Site of Significance” (EG85 - Hensleigh - Far Creek). Recommendations are made to the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) and to VicForests to ensure that all areas of Cool Temperate Rainforest and Mixed Forest are excluded from logging and that no further logging is undertaken within the “Rainforest Site of Significance”.

Assessment of Impacts of Feral Horses (Equus Caballus) in the Australian Alps
Assessment ofImpacts of Feral Horses (Equus caballus) in the Australian Alps Part 1. Draft design of experimental monitoring programs for determining the environmental Impacts of feral horses in the Cobberas-Tingaringy Unit of the Alpine National Park. A report to the Australian Alps Liaison Committee. K.R. Thiele & S.M.Prober Ecological Interactions. Jan. 1999 Assessment of Impacts of Feral Horses (Equus cabalIus) in the Australian Alps A report to the Australian Alps Liaison Committee. K.R.Thiele & S.M.Prober Ecological Interactions. Jan. 1999 ~ I Introduction Feral Horses in Australia Horses were fust introduced into Australia in 1788 with the arrival ofthe first fleet, with irregular subsequent introductions from South Africa, India and England (Dobbie et al. 1993). Conditions in Australia were generally suitable for horses, and records of horses escaping to the bush date from as early as 1804. Feral horses were first recognized as pests during the late 1860s (Rolls 1969). Australia now has an estimated 300 000 to 600 000 feral horses, the largest population in the world (Berman and Jarman 1987, Clement et al. 1990). Most occur in remote semi arid areas, particularly the extensive cattle-raising districts ofthe Northern Territory, Queensland and Western Australia (Dobbie et al. 1993). The greatest concentrations outside semi-arid regions occur in the montane to sub-alpine regions of New South Wales and Victoria. Feral horses have been recognised as a problem there since the nineteenth century (Sydney Morning Herald 1871, Helms 1890) and have been identified as a threat to montane environments in many studies including those ofByles (1932), Costin (1954), Anon (1977) and Alpine Planning Project Team ) -.

NATIONAL PARKS ACT ANNUAL REPORT 2019–2020 Traditional Owner Acknowledgement Victoria’s network of parks and reserves form the core of Aboriginal cultural landscapes, which have been modified over many thousands of years of occupation. They are reflections of how Aboriginal people engaged with their world and experienced their surroundings and are the product of thousands of generations of economic activity, material culture and settlement patterns. The landscapes we see today are influenced by the skills, knowledge and activities of Aboriginal land managers. Parks Victoria acknowledges the Traditional Owners of these cultural landscapes, recognising their continuing connection to Victoria’s parks and reserves and their ongoing role in caring for Country.
