Survey/Project Name: |
Barossa Catchment Group - Undeveloped Roads |
Abstract: |
This project aims to conduct a biological survey north of Adelaide, South Australia, to combine previous research and field survey results (including roadside reserve surveys commissioned by Barossa Council), new data on the status, and health of native vegetation in the project area.
OUTCOMES:
It will provide baseline vegetation data for the confirmation of the selected sites as seed banks for native plant species for the region.
Together with an analysis of community perceptions of the Barossa Council's Strategic Plan, the project will provide the required substantiation for retention and decisions regarding options for future management and protection of these sites in future, by the Barossa Council in partnership with the community.
