Mount Foxlow-Harrisons Peak Vegetation Map. VIS_ID 4210

A survey by Barrer (1997) of remnant native vegetation in the south-east section of Yarrowlumla Shire identified areas of high or potentially high nature conservation significance. The largest and most valuable of these remnants was the bushlands of the Mt. Foxlow - Harrisons Peak area, with two smaller but connected areas, the Queanbeyan River corridor and Captains Flat bushlands also identified as of high conservation significance. These three areas were identified as being vulnerable to a range of existing and proposed activities, likely to lead to vegetation and biodiversity loss or decline. Funds were applied for to undertake a three-year assessment of the significance of these bushlands and to gather ecological information for management purposes. VIS_ID 4210
