The region supported the Worimi Conservation Lands Board of Management to purchase land adjoining the park for a works depot. RESERVE INFRASTRUCTURE AND MAINTENANCE ................................................................................................ Management trail upgrades Myall Lakes, Ghin-Doo-Ee, Wallingat, and Crowdy Bay National Parks, and Berrico Nature Reserve all benefited from $343,030 in funding through the Rural Fire Service Fire Mitigation Works for fire trail upgrades to improve our capacity to conduct hazard reduction burning and respond to wildfire.

NATIVE PLANTS AND ANIMALS ................................................................................................ Threatened Species The Region has active management programs for a number of threatened species and significant ecological communities. Key examples include Gould’s petrel, which is known to breed only on John Gould (Cabbage Tree) Island and nearby Boondelbah Island nature reserves, as well as endangered shorebirds including little tern, pied oystercatcher and beach-stone curlew in the Manning and Port Stephens estuaries. Successful fox control was the key to sustaining threatened populations of brush- tailed rock-wallaby in the Curracabundi National Park, and the broad-toothed rat in Barrington Tops National Park. Weed control and active restoration is helping protect the remnants of Subtropical Floodplain rainforest in Coocumbac Island, Wingham Brush and Lansdowne Nature reserves, representing over 95% of this endangered ecological community remaining in the Manning Valley.

    645 Vegetation and flora of Booti Booti National Park and Yahoo Nature Reserve, lower North Coast of New South Wales. S.J. Griffith, R. Wilson and K. Maryott-Brown Griffith, S.J.1, Wilson, R.2 and Maryott-Brown, K.3 (1Division of Botany, School of Rural Science and Natural Resources, University of New England, Armidale NSW 2351; 216 Bourne Gardens, Bourne Street, Cook ACT 2614; 3Paynes Lane, Upper Lansdowne NSW 2430) 2000. Vegetation and flora of Booti Booti National Park and Yahoo Nature Reserve, lower North Coast of New South Wales. Cunninghamia 6(3): 645–715. The vegetation of Booti Booti National Park and Yahoo Nature Reserve on the lower North Coast of New South Wales has been classified and mapped from aerial photography at a scale of 1: 25 000. The plant communities so identified are described in terms of their composition and distribution within Booti Booti NP and Yahoo NR. The plant communities are also discussed in terms of their distribution elsewhere in south-eastern Australia, with particular emphasis given to the NSW North Coast where compatible vegetation mapping has been undertaken in many additional areas. Floristic relationships are also examined by numerical analysis of full-floristics and foliage cover data for 48 sites. A comprehensive list of vascular plant taxa is presented, and significant taxa are discussed. Management issues relating to the vegetation of the reserves are outlined. Introduction The study area Booti Booti National Park (1586 ha) and Yahoo Nature Reserve (48 ha) are situated on the lower North Coast of New South Wales (32°15'S 152°32'E), immediately south of Forster in the Great Lakes local government area (Fig.

The public requires avenues through which they can be involved in and support national parks in a positive manner. This submission provides an insight into the role that an environmental philanthropy organisation can play in engaging the public to provide this support. It is also an invitation to Governments to support, promote and encourage environmental philanthropy to increase funding and resources for the Australian protected area system. Introduction: The Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife makes this submission to the inquiry as a private not-for-profit organisation that raises funds and awareness for the conservation of Australia’s natural and cultural heritage. Since 1970 our donors have contributed more than $38 million that has; • added over 350,000 hectares of land
