Government agencies are working together to deliver the Bushfire Recovery project Survive and Thrive. They want records of the following plant species:-

Namadgi Tea-Tree - Leptospermum namadgiensis

Slender Parrot Pea – Almaleea capitata

Dwarf Violet – Viola improcera

Shiny Phebalium – Leionema lamprohyllum subsp. obovatum

Daisy Bush - Olearia sp. Rhizomatica

See this page for more info:- https://canberra.naturemapr.org/species/lists/48

Conservation outcomes for each species:- Seed and vegetative collection secured in conservation collections; potential pilot for seed orcharding; transloction ready; seed collections and storage for seed rewilding; develop protocol on how to grow from cuttings; develop protocol on how to grow from seeds.

Any sightings of the plants listed above would help ANBG staff determine where to concentrate their seed and vegetation collection efforts. So please keep a look for these plants and report on Canberra Nature Map.
