Site Details
This eight hectare revegetation site is situated in Bugle Ranges, 6km south of Mt Barker, South Australia. The site is a moderate south sloping hill face, and has an average rainfall of 750mm per annum. Successful revegetation of this high rainfall site will significantly increase biodiverse habitat in a highly cleared area of the Adelaide Hills.
The dominant vegetation association along this site is Manna Gum (Eucalyptus viminalis), Southern Blue Gum (Eucalyptus leucoxylon) and Golden Wattle (Acacia pycnantha) grassy woodland. Direct seeding will be used to carry out the revegetation.
Species planted on site:
Acacia sp. acinacea, melanoxylon, myrtifolia, paradoxa, pycantha, retinodes (hill form), verniciflua
Allocasuarina sp striata, muelleriana, verticillata
Callistemon sieberi
Dodonaea viscosa spatulata
Eucalyptus sp. camaldulensis, cosmophylla, fasciculosa, leucoxylon, obliqua, viminalis cygnetensis,
Leptospermum sp. continentale, lanigerum
Melaleuca decussata

Site Update, October 2011
This site has experienced excellent germination across the entire site. There is good representation of all species present and growth rates are ahead of expectation.
Weed control was carried out on 7th October 2011. There has been abundant weed growth due to very favorable conditions, but the growth rate of the seedlings has not been impeded and they will out-compete future weeds very quickly.
The landholder will slash between the rows in November.
