Wildlife Habitat Gardens • Build a bird bath (out of cats’ reach) or create a frog pond, contact the NSC Bushland Projects Officer on 9936 8100 for DIY factsheets. Gardens provide important habitat for native fauna • Mulching your garden helps to suppress weed growth such as birds, lizards, possums, frogs and butterflies and retains water in the soil, reducing your need to that continue to survive in the urban environment and water.

  • Final Report to Australian Flora Foundation October 2008
    1 Do heat and smoke affect the permeability of the Grevillea seed coat to large molecular weight compounds? Flowers and ripening fruits of Grevillea linearifolia Final Report to Australian Flora Foundation October 2008 Publication from Grant: Briggs, Candida L., Morris, E. Charles. (2008) Seed-coat dormancy in Grevillea linearifolia: little change in permeability to an apoplastic tracer after treatment with smoke and heat. Annals of Botany 101: 623 – 632. 2 Abstract Seeds of east Australian Grevillea species germinate in response to fire-related cues such as heat and smoke. The seed coat is responsible for dormancy in G. linearifolia: a possible dormancy mechanism is the existence of barriers to diffusion of large molecular weight compounds in the seed coat. Such internal barriers are known to be involved in the dormancy of fire-responsive seeds overseas eg Emmenanthe pendulioflora, and the permeability of these barriers is altered by smoke. This model was tested for G. linearifolia by investigating the permeability of the seed coat to diffusion of large molecular weight compounds, and whether this changed after exposure to fire cues. The germination characteristics of seeds to heat, smoke, and combined exposure was tested. The penetration of the dye Lucifer Yellow into intact seeds was examined after 24 and 48 hours of exposure, and the penetration of the dye from the inside of the seed coat outwards was examined after 24 hours. Histochemical staining with Nile Red and Acridine Orange was used to locate cuticles, suberin and lignin. About one-fifth of untreated seeds germinated; both heat by itself, and smoke by itself, increased germination; greatest germination (up to 80%) was observed after treatment with both fire cues.

We have been fortunate in securing for this meeting the leader of the Grevillea Study Group Mr. Peter Olde. We will meet at 10.30am at the Eurobodalla Regional Botanic Gardens Princes Highway, about 5km south of Batemans Bay After Peter’s presentation, and lunch at the Gardens, we will travel to Moruya for a look at some Grevilleas growing at Mark and Carolyn Noake’s garden, and then participate in a practical propagation session. Please bring morning tea and lunch. Those wishing to do so may purchase lunch from the Chefs Cap Café at the gardens. As we will walk around the Noake garden, comfortable walking shoes and a hat are advisable. There is plenty of seating at the ERBG, but you will need to put in a chair for use at Mark and Carolyn’s. See page 2 for details of these activities Future activities Due to Easter falling in the first week of April, the committee is discussing whether the April walk will be deferred till the 11th,. More on this next newsletter Our next meeting on May 2nd, is another treat for members. We will have to travel a bit, but Fern expert Kylie Stocks will let us in on the secrets of growing ferns successfully.

  • Appendix 3 Section 5A Assessments “Seven Part Tests”
    APPENDIX 3 SECTION 5A ASSESSMENTS “SEVEN PART TESTS” Appendix 3: Seven Part Tests Swamp Sclerophyll Forest Swamp Sclerophyll Forest on Coastal Floodplains of the NSW North Coast, Sydney Basin and South East Corner bioregions is listed as an Endangered Ecological Community under the NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act (1995). It is not listed under the schedules of the Commonwealth Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act (1999). Swamp Sclerophyll Forest on Coastal Floodplains of the NSW North Coast, Sydney Basin and South East Corner bioregions includes and replaces Sydney Coastal Estuary Swamp Forest in the Sydney Basin bioregion Endangered Ecological Community. This community is associated with humic clay loams and sandy loams, on waterlogged or periodically inundated alluvial flats and drainage lines associated with coastal floodplains (NSW Scientific Committee 2011). It occurs typically as open forests to woodlands, although partial clearing may have reduced the canopy to scattered trees or scrub. The understorey may contain areas of fernland and tall reedland or sedgeland which in turn may also form mosaics with other floodplain communities and often fringe wetlands with semi-permanent standing water (NSW Scientific Committee 2011). Swamp Sclerophyll Forest on Coastal Floodplains generally occurs below 20 metres ASL, often on small floodplains or where the larger floodplains adjoin lithic substrates or coastal sand plains (NSW Scientific Committee 2011). The species composition of Swamp Sclerophyll Forest is primarily determined by the frequency and duration of waterlogging and the texture, salinity nutrient and moisture content of the soil. The species composition of the trees varies considerably, but the most widespread and abundant dominant trees include Eucalyptus robusta Swamp Mahogany, Melaleuca quinquenervia and, south from Sydney, Eucalyptus botryoides Bangalay and Eucalyptus longifolia Woollybutt (OEH 2015a).

  • Towradgi Beach Dune Vegetation Site Plan 2018
    Z18/182215 Towradgi Beach Dune Vegetation Site Plan 2018 August 2018 VERSION DATE COMMENTS REVISED BY 0.1 February 2015 Aimee Beardsmore 0.2 August 2016 New vegetation mapping and revised actions Elli Kircher 0.3 June 2017 Revised actions Martine Fraser 0.4 August 2018 Updated due to adoption of Tree and Vegetation Vandalism Martine Fraser Policy 1 August 2018 Introduction Council adopted a Wollongong Dune Management Strategy for the Patrolled Swimming Areas of 17 Beaches in March 2014. Management options were identified to address safety and recreational amenity issues, whilst also considering ecological values and the role of dunes in protection against coastal hazards. Options relating to vegetation management are management of noxious and invasive weed species and management of subspecies of Acacia longifolia (Coastal Wattle). This site plan will guide vegetation management works which will be undertaken by a number of parties including Council’s dune crew and contractors, and Dunecare volunteers. Vegetation Maps Vegetation mapping was initially undertaken at Towradgi Beach on 24 July, 4 and 11 August 2014 to inform works and provide a baseline to monitor progress. The site was divided into Bays as delineated by access paths. Each Bay was divided into patches to indicate the location and abundance of weeds and native plants. Vegetation mapping was re-done in August 2016 to update the maps to inform works given the large amount of work that has already been conducted. Management Actions and Priorities Actions have been prioritised taking into consideration the following factors: 1. The overall aim to improve sight lines for lifeguards and lifesavers, recreational amenity and site access.

  • A Revised Checklist of Fijian Ferns and Lycophytes
    Telopea13(3) 513–562 A revised checklist of Fijian ferns and lycophytes P.J. Brownsey and L.R. Perrie Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, P.O. Box 467, Wellington, New Zealand Email: [email protected] Abstract A revised Checklist of 331 species of Fijian ferns and lycophytes is presented here. Six species are presumed to be introduced and 48 (15%) are endemic. The annotated list includes family, genus and species names for all Fijian ferns, and aligns them with names used by Brownlie (1977) in his Pteridophyte Flora of Fiji. Since publication of Brownlie’s work, 29 species have been added to the Fijian fern flora, 79 of the previously recorded taxa now have different generic and/or species names, and c. 40% are placed in different families. Specimens of ferns in the South Pacific Regional Herbarium (SUVA) were examined, and all have been re-identified as far as possible using the updated names. The significance of this work in the context of the wider Pacific region is discussed. Introduction This Checklist of ferns and lycophytes for Fiji updates the names used by Brownlie (1977) in his Pteridophyte Flora of Fiji. There have been significant changes to the taxonomy of ferns since that time, particularly with re-circumscriptions of families and genera (Smith et al. 2006). Subsequent work focused on the fern flora of Fiji includes that of Kramer & Zogg (1988), Parris (1994), Ebihara & Iwatsuki (2007), and the National Museum of Nature and Science (2008). Since our initial unpublished report was submitted (Brownsey & Perrie 2008), Japanese pteridologists have published Illustrated Flora of ferns and fern allies of South Pacific Islands (National Museum of Nature and Science 2008).
