Dates meetings were held 26/5/10; 1/12/10 One to two paragraph summary of achievements suitable for WATSNU Recovery of critically endangered Stirling Range Taxa threatened by Phytophthora dieback has progressed through phosphite application, herbivore (vertebrate and invertebrate) control, concerted efforts to collect seed from remote and ‘difficult’ species and translocations of four species.
Action 1 Phosphite application Aerial phosphite was applied to 22
DRF in 38 targets, 340 ha in total. New targets were established for Leucopogon gnaphalioides CR Mondurup, Daviesia ovata CR Manypeaks and Lambertia fairallii, SRNP.
Action 2 Herbivore protection Aerial baiting of 25 ha on Bluff Knoll with 1080 oats to protect Banksia montana, Persoonia micranthera, Leucopogon gnaphalioides, Latrobea colophona Caging/ fencing was undertaken for CR taxa Banksia montana, Acacia awestoniana and Daviesia ovata, New monitoring (for grazing impacts) was established for Darwinia collina CR on Bluff Knoll Action 3 Monitoring Fire ecology Fire succession quadrats (22 quadrats) were established for 8 DRF (Verticordia pityhrops, Kunzea
and fire management guidelines recommended. Individuals if DRF were tagged for monitoring within quadrats. Floristics were recorded and fire responses were documented in recently burnt quadrats
Ravensthorpe Nickel – Bandalup Hill: Monitoring quadrats were established through Ravensthorpe Regional Surveys project for DRF Beyeria cockertonii, Kunzea similis ssp mediterranea, Hibbertia abyssa and E. purpurata with quadrats situated close to and away from pit edge. Aerial Canker Aerial canker transects with data loggers for long-term monitoring of canker impacts were established for Banksia verticillata and Lambertia orbifolia ssp orbifolia, canker species present were sampled. Other
Annual monitoring of Critically Endangered Flora and selected En and Vu flora was undertaken including 14 species in phosphite program. Banksia verticillata was monitored with the assistance of UWA at Torndirrup and plant health and reproduction assessed. Action 4 Seed collections were made for CR taxa Andersonia axilliflora; Banksia montana, Darwinia collina. Lambertia fairalli, B. anatona, D. nubigena, B. rufa ssp pumila, and Xyris exilis, Pesticide application was used to improve seed viability for seed collection of Daviesia glossosema Action 5 New translocations were implemented for CR taxa Daviesia pseudaphylla, D. glossosema, Persoonia micranthera, Lambertia orbifolia ssp orbifolia, Acacia awestoniana, Banksia montana. Repeat translocation implemented for Banksia ionthocarpa Action 6 Survey New populations were located for Banksia brownii CR, Ricinocarpos trichophorus Vu, and ne w sub- populations of Daviesia ovata CR and D. megacalyx 43 new populations of priority flora were located Action 7 Herbicide control for *Rubus sp and *Dipogon lignosus) was undertaken around populations of Apium prostratum ssp phillipii and Ornduffia calthifolia in the Porongurup NP. Weed infestations and DRF were mapped using GIS.
Following completion of ARVS survey and Ravensthorpe Regional Surveys over 10
Priority flora were recommended for changes in Priority status including removal from Priority list. Action 9 Communication Radio interview July 2010 ABC ‘native trees’, 31/8/10 Radio interview ABC ‘Boronia species’ Posters were displayed at Australian Plant Conservation Conference on translocations and aerial canker.
Phosphite continues to slow rate of decline for Stirling Range and other CR taxa threatened by P. cinnamomi and has allowed seed collection and ex-situ conservation to progress. Persoonia micranthera and Leucopogon gnaphalioides have shown a positive response to baiting of habitat with 1080 oats, other species (e.g. Daviesia ovata) have responded to fencing Translocations have increased population numbers.
