Why exactly was this planted here? It’s not actually local to the ACT……

Hi. Rainer Rehwinkle gave a talk to a group at Emu Ck and gave the plant to us as a gift, and to have it in one more place since it is endangered.

Ok. Is the emu creek area a restoration site? Or are you just planting out the corridor?

It is a restoration site - was all mown until 4 years ago. I'm not clear what you mean by 'planting out the corridor'. Cheers, J

Just curious as to the objective of the restoration? And whether or not there has been consideration as to what taxa are used in plantings? I have worked with groups undertaking 'restoration' in the south of Canberra and have always pressed for the selection of local endemics rather than cultivars or non-local native species as is often done. I realise this isn't the fault of Landcarers and it is not that these plantings have no benefit, but I cannot say that I see these actions as true restoration myself. Though of course, that depends on the goal of the project.
