FloraSearch is monitoring recovery of the threatened Kurri Sand Swamp Woodland community following hazard reduction burning in the buffer zone of the Hydro Aluminium smelter at Kurri Kurri, NSW. Kurri Sand Swamp Woodland supports several threatened plant species including Eucalyptus parramattensis subsp. decadens shown above.
Using on ground GPS readings, FloraSearch has accurately mapped the boundaries of remnants of the Warkworth Sands Endangered Ecological Community (above) on privately owned land in the NSW Hunter Valley.
