FINAL REPORT 2019 Canna Reserve
FINAL REPORT 2019 Canna Reserve This project was supported by NACC NRM and the Shire of Morawa through funding from the Australian Government’s National Landcare Program Canna Reserve BioBlitz 2019 Weaving and wonder in the wilderness! The weather may have been hot and dry, but that didn’t stop everyone having fun and learning about the rich biodiversity and conservation value of the wonderful Canna Reserve during the highly successful 2019 BioBlitz. On the 14 - 15 September 2019, NACC NRM together with support from Department of Biodiversity Conservation and Attractions and the Shire of Morawa, hosted their third BioBlitz at the Canna Reserve in the Shire of Morawa. Fifty professional biologists and citizen scientists attended the event with people travelling from near and far including Morawa, Perenjori, Geraldton and Perth. After an introduction and Acknowledgement of Country from organisers Jessica Stingemore and Jarna Kendle, the BioBlitz kicked off with participants separating into four teams and heading out to explore Canna Reserve with the goal of identifying as many plants, birds, invertebrates, and vertebrates as possible in a 24 hr period. David Knowles of Spineless Wonders led the invertebrate survey with assistance from, OAM recipient Allen Sundholm, Jenny Borger of Jenny Borger Botanical Consultancy led the plant team, BirdLife Midwest member Alice Bishop guided the bird survey team and David Pongracz from Department of Biodiversity Conservation and Attractions ran the vertebrate surveys with assistance from volunteer Corin Desmond. The BioBlitz got off to a great start identifying 80 plant species during the first survey with many more species to come and even a new orchid find for the reserve. -

Nomination for listing of Iron Grass (Lomandra ejfusa - L. multiflora ssp. dura) Tussock Grassland as a threatened ecological community under the Environment Protection and BiodiversityConservation Act 1999 Report prepared for WWF Australia by Richard Davies , 2000 Ecological Community Details Generally accepted name of the ecological community Iron Grass (Lomandra ejjusa-L. multiflora ssp. dura) Tussock Grassland. This community was initially referred to as Lomandra multiflora - L. dura association in · Wood (193 7) & Jessup (1948). It was subsequently referred to as Lomandra dura - L. ejjusa Tussock Grassland/Sedgeland in Specht (1972, 1974), and Lomandra effi1sa ± L. dura Tussock Grassland/Sedgeland in Davies (1982) and Neagle (1995). More recently Hyde (1995) and Robertson (1998) undertook floristic analysis of floristic quadrats sampled throughout the native grassland and grassy woodland areas in the Lofty Block Bioregion Consequently, Hyde (1995) split Iron Grass (Lomandra ejjusa - L. -
Rare Or Threatened Vascular Plant Species of Wollemi National Park, Central Eastern New South Wales
Rare or threatened vascular plant species of Wollemi National Park, central eastern New South Wales. Stephen A.J. Bell Eastcoast Flora Survey PO Box 216 Kotara Fair, NSW 2289, AUSTRALIA Abstract: Wollemi National Park (c. 32o 20’– 33o 30’S, 150o– 151oE), approximately 100 km north-west of Sydney, conserves over 500 000 ha of the Triassic sandstone environments of the Central Coast and Tablelands of New South Wales, and occupies approximately 25% of the Sydney Basin biogeographical region. 94 taxa of conservation signiicance have been recorded and Wollemi is recognised as an important reservoir of rare and uncommon plant taxa, conserving more than 20% of all listed threatened species for the Central Coast, Central Tablelands and Central Western Slopes botanical divisions. For a land area occupying only 0.05% of these divisions, Wollemi is of paramount importance in regional conservation. Surveys within Wollemi National Park over the last decade have recorded several new populations of signiicant vascular plant species, including some sizeable range extensions. This paper summarises the current status of all rare or threatened taxa, describes habitat and associated species for many of these and proposes IUCN (2001) codes for all, as well as suggesting revisions to current conservation risk codes for some species. For Wollemi National Park 37 species are currently listed as Endangered (15 species) or Vulnerable (22 species) under the New South Wales Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995. An additional 50 species are currently listed as nationally rare under the Briggs and Leigh (1996) classiication, or have been suggested as such by various workers. Seven species are awaiting further taxonomic investigation, including Eucalyptus sp. -
Iron-Grass Natural Temperate Grassland Nationally Listed As Critically Endangered
Department for Environment and Heritage Iron-grass Natural Temperate Grassland nationally listed as Critically Endangered Iron-grass Natural Temperate Grassland, Mokota Conservation Park (Photograph by Tim Bond) Description The Iron-grass Natural Temperate Grassland of South Australia is a grassland dominated by Iron- grasses (Lomandra multiflora ssp. dura and/or Lomandra effusa), with tussock-forming (clumping) grasses, low shrubs and a range of other native plants in the ground layer. Trees and tall shrubs are generally absent or very sparse (less than 10% cover). Distribution Iron-grass Grasslands are unique to South Australia. Their main distribution is on the slopes and hills of the Mount Lofty Ranges, west of the River Murray and throughout the Mid North (see adjacent map). Patches also occur on the eastern side of the River Murray near Tailem Bend, and may occur along the Hummocks Range north of the Gulf St Vincent. Conservation Status The Iron-grass Natural Temperate Grassland of South Australia is nationally listed as a critically endangered ecological community under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Your comments are valued. Conservation Act 1999. To provide comments or information in the Major threats to this community include development of the recovery plan for this clearance and fragmentation, inappropriate ecological community, please contact: grazing regimes, and weed invasion.

Ecology of Pyrmont Peninsula 1788 - 2008
Transformations: Ecology of Pyrmont peninsula 1788 - 2008 John Broadbent Transformations: Ecology of Pyrmont peninsula 1788 - 2008 John Broadbent Sydney, 2010. Ecology of Pyrmont peninsula iii Executive summary City Council’s ‘Sustainable Sydney 2030’ initiative ‘is a vision for the sustainable development of the City for the next 20 years and beyond’. It has a largely anthropocentric basis, that is ‘viewing and interpreting everything in terms of human experience and values’(Macquarie Dictionary, 2005). The perspective taken here is that Council’s initiative, vital though it is, should be underpinned by an ecocentric ethic to succeed. This latter was defined by Aldo Leopold in 1949, 60 years ago, as ‘a philosophy that recognizes[sic] that the ecosphere, rather than any individual organism[notably humans] is the source and support of all life and as such advises a holistic and eco-centric approach to government, industry, and individual’(http://dictionary.babylon.com). Some relevant considerations are set out in Part 1: General Introduction. In this report, Pyrmont peninsula - that is the communities of Pyrmont and Ultimo – is considered as a microcosm of the City of Sydney, indeed of urban areas globally. An extensive series of early views of the peninsula are presented to help the reader better visualise this place as it was early in European settlement (Part 2: Early views of Pyrmont peninsula). The physical geography of Pyrmont peninsula has been transformed since European settlement, and Part 3: Physical geography of Pyrmont peninsula describes the geology, soils, topography, shoreline and drainage as they would most likely have appeared to the first Europeans to set foot there. -
