Regeneration gains continue at Kanmantoo
Our Kanmantoo Woodland Revegetation Project is protecting significant native grassy ecosystems across more than 160 hectares at Kanmantoo.
Manager of the project Ben Simon was out in the field last week and was really pleased to see continual improvements occurring on the sites in the form of natural regeneration and recovery of local native flora.
“Most pleasing was the array of ferns and species such as the beautiful Twining Glycine (Glycine rubigunosa) in their hundreds, flowering across the rocky slopes. In late Summer we say hectares of purple garland lily (Calostemma purpurea).”
On one property there were 4 native fern species noted that were all recovering from years of grazing from stock.
Funding and support for this project is provided by the Native Vegetation Council through the Hills and Fleurieu revegetation grants round.
