Davies Grasslands and Grassy Woodlands of the Lofty Block Bioregion Abstract In the spring/sununer seasons of 1995 and 1996, native grassland and grassy woodland was surveyed in the Lofty Block Bioregion. The vegetation and general landform of seventy four sites were surveyed in total, including a complete plant species list. A total of 3,774 plant records (427 native taxa and 147 alien taxa) were added to the South Australian Environmental Database, with 1,813 plant voucher specimens being lodged in the State Herbarium of South Australia. One hundred and sixty six records are of particular conservation significance at the regional level. These comprise 149 plant taxa, of which seven plant species are of national conservation significance and 36 plant species are rated as of conservation significance in South Australia. Sites representing native grasslands and grassy woodlands of the Lofty Block Bioregion, sampled in previous surveys were selected from the South Australian biological survey database (439 sites). Added to the Lofty Block Grassland dataset, a total of 884 taxa, of which 241 are alien, occurred at 513 grassy sites. These data were included in a composite vegetation analysis, resulting in recognition of 15 vegetation groups. Several of these groups consisted of semi -sclerophyllous vegetation, or marginal grasslands. Remnants of native grassland and grassy woodland in the bioregion are generally small and all grassy vegetation is modified to some extent. Alien plant species are always present and often form a significant component of the flora, even in the grassy vegetation of highest quality. Plants of regional conservation significance were recorded at the majority of grassy sites. The original land survey records of the 19th and early 20th century were inspected for locations sampled during the current survey. They indicate that the northern plains (eg. Willochra Plain) grasslands were originally chenopod shrublands, while the general structure of present day vegetation at other grassy sites is consistent with the early surveyors' remarks. Grassland and grassy woodland sites of high conservation significance were identified and included some remnants of less than one hectare as well as remnants that are more extensive. The conservation status of grassy floristic groups was assessed and recommendations have been made for conserving important vegetation types that are not yet represented in the reserve system. Important remnants of grassland and grassy woodland occur on public and private land, including major conservation reserves and minor public reserves such as road reserves. A range of strategies is therefore recommended for the conservation of grassy ecosystems in the bioregion. iii Grasslands and Grassy Woodlands of the Lofty Block Bioregion Preface A Biological Survey of Grasslands and Grassy Woodlands of the Lofty Block Bioregion, South Australia is a further component of the Biological Survey of South Australia. The program of systematic biological surveys to cover the whole of South Australia arose out of a realisation that an effort was needed to increase our knowledge of the remaining vascular plants and vertebrate fauna of the state and to encourage its conservation. Over the last fifteen years, there has been a strong commitment to the Biological Survey by Government and an impressive dedication from hundreds of volunteer biologists. It is anticipated That the Biological Survey will achieve complete statewide coverage by 2015 and will be achievement of which we can be very proud. Biologists in the future will be able to measure the direction of long -term ecological change, and we will have substantially improved our knowledge of the biodiversity of South Australia and our ability to adequately manage nature conservation into the future.

Published by the Department for Environment and Heritage, Adelaide, Australia © Department for Environment and Heritage, 2006 ISBN: 1 921238 20 8 Cover photography courtesy of Carly Lovering: Looking towards the Adelaide Plains from the Wildflower Walk. This document may be cited as “Department for Environment and Heritage (2006) Anstey Hill Recreation Park Management Plan, Adelaide, South Australia” FOREWORD Anstey Hill Recreation Park conserves an area of 362 hectares of native vegetation and previously grazed land, located 18 kilometres north-east of Adelaide in the Hills Face Zone of the Mount Lofty Ranges. The majority of the park was proclaimed on 31 August 1989 to conserve the native vegetation and cultural heritage of the park, and to provide for public recreation and enjoyment. A further allotment was added to the park on 4 October 2001. The park conserves a large area of native vegetation, which provides an important refuge for native flora and fauna. It also provides a much-valued recreational resource to the residents of the north-eastern suburbs. Through organisations such as the Friends of Anstey Hill, the City of Tea Tree Gully and the National Trust, strong community connections have been forged with the park. The most immediate management concern within the park is the prevention of illegal mountain bike riding in areas of high conservation value.

  • Cobbler Creek Recreation Park Management Plan
    Cobbler Creek Recreation Park Management Plan North Metropolitan Adelaide April 2003 Our Parks, Our Heritage, Our Legacy Cultural richness and diversity are the marks of a great society. It is these qualities that are basic to our humanity. They are the foundation of our value systems and drive our quest for purpose and contentment. Cultural richness embodies morality, spiritual well-being, the rule of law, reverence for life, human achievement, creativity and talent, options for choice, a sense of belonging, personal worth and an acceptance of responsibility for the future. Biological richness and diversity are, in turn, important to cultural richness and communities of people. When a community ceases to value and protect its natural landscapes, it erodes the richness and wholeness of its cultural foundation. In South Australia, we are privileged to have a network of parks, reserves and protected areas that continue to serve as benchmarks against which we can measure progress and change brought about by our society. They are storehouses of nature’s rich diversity, standing as precious biological and cultural treasures. It is important to realise that survival of species in ‘island’ reserves surrounded by agriculture or urban areas is uncertain, and that habitat links between reserves are essential for their long-term value as storehouses. As a result of more than a century of conserving nature and cultural items, we possess a “legacy” which is worth passing on to future generations. There are twelve essentials for the protection of our park environments: S Recognition that a primary purpose of our national parks system is to conserve the wide diversity of South Australia’s native plants and animals and to improve their chances of survival through active wildlife management.
