    INTERIM RECOVERY PLAN NO. 293 Guichenotia seorsiflora INTERIM RECOVERY PLAN 2009-2014 September 2009 Department of Environment and Conservation Kensington Interim Recovery Plan for Guichenotia seorsiflora FOREWORD Interim Recovery Plans (IRPs) are developed within the framework laid down in Department of Conservation and Land Management (CALM) Policy Statements Nos. 44 and 50. Note: the Department of CALM formally became the Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) in July 2006. IRPs outline the recovery actions that are required to urgently address those threatening processes most affecting the ongoing survival of threatened taxa or ecological communities, and begin the recovery process. DEC is committed to ensuring that Threatened taxa are conserved through the preparation and implementation of Recovery Plans (RPs) or IRPs, and by ensuring that conservation action commences as soon as possible and, in the case of Critically Endangered (CR) taxa, always within one year of endorsement of that rank by the Minister. This plan will operate from September 2009 to August 2014 but will remain in force until withdrawn or replaced. It is intended that, if the taxon is still ranked as Critically Endangered (CR), this IRP will be reviewed after five years and the need for further recovery actions assessed. This IRP was given regional approval in October 2009 and was approved by the Director of Nature Conservation in November 2009. The provision of funds identified in this IRP is dependent on budgetary and other constraints affecting DEC, as well as the need to address other priorities. Information in this IRP was accurate at September 2009. IRP PREPARATION This IRP was prepared by Robyn Luu1 and Andrew Brown2.

(Those coming from the north will cross the Clyde and turn right immediately off the bridge) The roads once leaving the Kings H’way are unsealed, and a little rough and potholed. Western Distributor Road is about 22km up the Kings Highway from Batemans Bay. From the turnoff, the property is about 2.7km. Once on Western Distributor Road, you will cross Currowan Creek, pass Pig Road on the right, and then look for the “Verdigris” sign. The gate to 274 is next. The driveway down to the house is steep, with parking available in the paddock. This introduction to our visit is from Cliff. The property is set in a valley surrounding the Currowan Creek catchment, in the foothills of Budawang Range. By virtue of its location it possesses a unique microclimate abounding in naturally occurring rainforest species. The valley is dominated by Eucalyptus saligna (Sydney Blue Gum), some monster in size, and Angophora floribunda, along with naturally occurring Elaeocarpus reticulatus, Prostanthera lasianthos, Persoonia linearis, Polyscias murrayi, Cyathea australis, Livistona australis, Ficus coronata, with Pimelea axiflora, Claoxylon australe, Astrotricha ledifolia, Psychotria loniceroides, Backhousia mytifolia and much more along the creek.
