Grasslands are not invisible
Incredibly, no decent, ground-truthed map of our grasslands exists. That shows how ignored and under-resourced our grasslands are. No wonder they are critically endangered.
This database and accompanying map are very much a work in progress. They are put out into the wild to grow with your help. We’d love any feedback. Please send us corrections, content, links, pics and thoughts on useability.
Ironically, we’re using ecommerce product catalog software, so feel free to shop around! Who says a ‘Green Wall Street’ can’t work?
Aitken Boulevard Grassland Reserve
High-quality Roadside grassland, including Kangaroo Grass and Seasonal Herbaceous Wetlands. Adjacent to Mount Ridley Nature Conservation Reserve. Matted Flax-lily and Golden Sun Moth present.
