Restoring native grasses to the understorey of The Pinnacle
New knowledge that will aid recovery of degraded box-gum grassy woodlands

A Friends of The Pinnacle project funded by:
ACT Environment Grant 2010-11
Caring for Our Country Community Action Grant 2010-2011
Canberra Labor Club 2010-2011

Results of Plant and Nutrient Surveys, 2011 - 2013

Findings from 2011 Spring Surveys [ 705 kB]

Initial survey results

Summary of most recent findings:

• Generally, if nutrients can be reduced native species are expected to benefit.
• None of the treatments tested have made a clear improvement.
• Grazing at current levels maintains species richness (of exotics and natives)

A small working group has been formed to discuss options to further this research.

Please contact if you would like to be involved in these discussions.
