Flora

Changes to the landscape as a result of human activity have put many of Australia's unique plant and animal species at risk. Over the last two hundred years many species of plants have become extinct. For the other species of plants and animals whose survival is threatened, a range of management and conservation measures are in place.

Box-Gum Grassy Woodlands

Box-Gum Grassy Woodlands is classified as a Nationally Threatened Ecological Community. This ecological community can occur as either a woodland or a derived grassland (a grassy woodland from which the trees have been removed). The Box-Gum Grassy Woodland has been targeted because of its importance as a critically endangered ecological community which supports a variety of endangered and vulnerable species, is largely managed by private landholders and covers a broad geographic area. Conservation of our woodlands is an essential aspect of conserving the rich diversity of species and ecosystems for which Australia is recognised globally. Box-Gum Grassy Woodlands areas at ADFA
