| Abstract: | A series of biodiversity assessments will be undertaken by Department of Environment and Natural Reseources (DENR) and Northern Yorke Peninsula regional staff, assisted by trained and supervised volunteers. The program will establish base-line monitoring sites, pre- and post-management monitoring, and information for long-term adaptive management of the park's biodiversity assets. Regional staff and community volunteers wil have the opprtunity to develop survey skills under the guidance of experienced DENR survey biologists. The program will include vertebrate fauna groups and vegetation surveys, habitat condition assessments, and opportunistic data collection at selected sites throughout Innes National Park. |
