Vegetation Update - October

Robyn checked the survival rate of the native grasses we planted on 3 June this year and has asked me to pass on the results. The results show an overall survival rate of 85 percent with the majority of the losses occurring in two species, Enneapogon nigricans losing 15 of 25 plants and Austrostipa nodosa losing 12 of 50 plants.  It's not clear why those two species had lower survival rates than the others.

  • Fortunately the fire on Thursday night (19 Oct), which impacted the area of the plantings did not significantly affect them and may actually stimulate the growth of native grasses in that area.
