Highclere Hills N Gibson & M N Lyons Science Division, Department of Conservation and Land Management, Wildlife Research Center, PO Box 51 Wanneroo, WA 6065 email: [email protected] [email protected] (Manuscript received July 2000; accepted November 2001) Abstract A study of the flora and plant communities of the Highclere Hills (which lie some 25 km NNW of Bullfinch) recorded 242 taxa in the spring of 1996. Of these, 217 taxa were native and 25 were weeds. The flora list includes Acacia xerophila var brevior, Stenanthemum newbeyi and Tricoryne tuberosa ms, which represent significant range extensions for these taxa. No endemic taxa were found on the Highclere Hills. Five community types were defined from 45 quadrats spread across the Hills. The distribution of these community types appears to be primarily related to edaphic factors that were largely independent of topographic position. None of the five community types is known from conservation reserves. The vegetation patterning of the Highclere Hills is not as complex as that found on nearby ranges due to a more subdued topography. There has been widespread impact on the vegetation of the Highclere Hills by mineral exploration and mining and there is an urgent need to improve environmental management of mineral exploration activities.

  • 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.

    Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Species List What is the summary for and where does it come from? This list has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. The list was produced using the AustralianAustralian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. For each family of plant and animal covered by ANHAT (Appendix 1), this document gives the number of species in the country and how many of them are found in the region. It also identifies species listed as Vulnerable, Critically Endangered, Endangered or Conservation Dependent under the EPBC Act. A biodiversity summary for this region is also available. For more information please see: www.environment.gov.au/heritage/anhat/index.html Limitations • ANHAT currently contains information on the distribution of over 30,000 Australian taxa. This includes all mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and fish, 137 families of vascular plants (over 15,000 species) and a range of invertebrate groups. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are notnot included included in in the the list. list. • The data used come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect.

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. DPAW is committed to ensuring that threatened ecological communities are conserved through the preparation and implementation of Recovery Plans or Interim Recovery Plans and by ensuring that conservation action commences as soon as possible and always within one year of endorsement of that rank by DPAW‟s Director of Nature Conservation. This Interim Recovery Plan will operate from July 2013 but will remain in force until withdrawn or replaced. It is intended that, if the community is still listed as Endangered after five years, this Interim Recovery Plan will be replaced or updated. This IRP replaces IRP number 65 „Hamilton-Brown, S.
