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?

Arcade Way Reserve

A unique interior park in a Walter Burley Griffin designed suburban estate. Some native vegetation has survived disturbances such as exotic tree planting and playground and path construction. The reserve contains Critically Endangered Spiny Rice-flower and state-listed Vulnerable Pale Swamp Everlasting.
