Start Date: 09/09/2007 | End Date: 09/09/2007
Eucaluptus ovata-Callitris oblonga forest type is nationally listed as vulnerable, with less than 600 hectares left of this once extensive community. Gorse invasion is a significant threat to this community, as Gorse competes with native species, and increases the risk of fire to which Callitris oblonga ssp. oblonga is sensitive. Volunteers have been working to protect this community since 1998, but ongoing efforts are needed to control the Gorse. So come and get your hands dirty to celebrate threatened species day!
