The pandemic has made essential self distancing and quarantining to arrest the spread of the Corona virus. As a result, most APS activities have been shelved for the time being. Being in isolation at home has been a mixed blessing. -

Report on Visit to Lyrebird Lane Quite a Crowd Travelled to Lyrebird Lane Little Forest, to Enjoy the Extensive Garden of Catriona and Phil
Report on visit to Lyrebird Lane Quite a crowd travelled to Lyrebird Lane Little Forest, to enjoy the extensive garden of Catriona and Phil. As leaders of the Petrophile and Isopogon Study Group, they share a keen interest in domesticating these members of the Proteaceae family. Phil has spent some years perfecting a process of grafting the difficult to grow but horticulturally desirable Western Australian species onto more reliable Eastern states rootstock. From this work he has ventured to graft many difficult to grow plants within the Proteaceae family, including Banksia, Dryandra, Grevillea and Hakea species onto stocks which not only survive, but thrive in his Phil and Catriona ponder a garden conditions. (Phil has kindly supplied an extensive list difficult question during their of the successful grafts in his garden, which follows this opening comments at the last report) meeting Catriona and Phil’s property is located on the edge of the escarpment overlooking Lake Conjola and Milton at an elevation of 350m, just below the Little Forest Plateau area of the Morton National Park, about ten kilometres from the sea, and is a garden set on the rich soils of former rainforest pockets, comprising two hectares of volcanic soil known as Milton monzonite. Whilst we marvelled at the plants and the almost perfect maintenance, both Catriona and Phil were quick to point out aspects which they struggled with. First of course, as the soil retains so much moisture, many plants simply grow too quickly, then being top heavy, are affected negatively by the strong westerly winds which flow down from the nearby escarpment. -

Comments and contributions on the drafts were provided by staff from Environment ACT, the Nature Conservation and Namadgi Sub-committee of the Environment Advisory Committee, the Flora and Fauna Committee and various ACT community groups and individuals. The development of this management plan was funded through the National Wetlands Program of Environment Australia. NOTES This plan of management has been prepared to fulfill the principle obligation of Contracting Parties to the Ramsar Convention. This obligation is to develop management plans for all Ramsar sites in their territory. Also, this Plan constitutes a component of the management plan for Namadgi National Park. The implementation of the management actions stated in this Plan of Management will be undertaken as part of the management of the Namadgi National Park.

One important foundation for the conservation of biodiversity on islands is an inventory of endemic species. In the absence of a comprehensive inventory, conservation effort often defaults to a focus on the better-known and more conspicuous species (typically mammals and birds). Although this component of island biota often needs such conservation attention, such focus may mean that less conspicuous endemic species (especially invertebrates) are neglected and suffer high rates of loss. In this paper, we review the available literature and online resources to compile a list of endemic species that is as comprehensive as possible for the 137 km2 oceanic Christmas Island, an Australian territory in the north-eastern Indian Ocean. -
Flora Translocation Strategy Pacific Highway Upgrade Sections 3-11 Excluding Early Works Soft Soil Treatment Areas Woolgoolga to Ballina
W2B-RMS-0-EF-PLN-00039 Flora Translocation Strategy Pacific Highway Upgrade Sections 3-11 excluding Early Works Soft Soil Treatment Areas Woolgoolga to Ballina Version 3 April 2017 APRIL 2015 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY New South Wales Roads and Maritime Services are upgrading the Pacific Highway between Woolgoolga and Ballina on the NSW North Coast (the Project). The preparation of a translocation strategy for impacted threatened flora species i.e. listed on schedules of the NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act (TSC Act) and the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) is a requirement of the conditions of approval. The translocation strategy is complemented by an offset strategy offset package and offset status report. Impacts to threatened species will be fully offset. The translocation management actions detailed in this report are additional to offsets. The translocation strategy has been submitted in stages. A Translocation Strategy for Sections 1 and 2 of the Project (part of Stage 1) - was approved on 12 May 2015 and a strategy for Early Works Soft Soils Treatment Areas three waves of construction packaging making up the remainder of Stage 1 of the highway upgrade) was approved on 9 June 2015. The current strategy covers Sections 3 to 11 (excluding Early Works Soft Soils Treatment Areas. Sixteen species of threatened flora are identified as being directly impacted by the upgrade of Sections 3 to 11 (excluding Early Works Soft Soils Treatment Areas) and twelve are assessed as feasible for translocation. They are: Four-tailed Grevillea Grevillea quadricauda (Vulnerable TSC Act EPBC Act). Green-leaved rose walnut Endiandra muelleri subsp.
