New Entry on the species list for plants found at Bindaree Bush

MORE REGENERATION AND SOME WEED CONTROL

  Here it is September already.  There has been plenty of rain and a few warm days,  Time for those plants that are specially adapted to survive bush fires to show us all how its done.

 Here are a few pictures including one of a lonely spider orchid found in the tracks of the fire break put in to isolate the fire.

SOme spraying has been done of the track through the reserve and the outside edges to reduce seed load from the weeds for next year.  A lot of wild gladioli bulbs were dug up.

The monitoring is continuing of the two quadrants - one in the burnt area and one in the unburnt.
