Eastern Mt Lofty Ranges (Nature Conservation Society) Survey

Survey was conducted in order to gain data on the presence and abundance of the flora and fauna of the grasslands and grassy woodlands of the Eastern Hills. Grazed sites were also included in the survey. The survey aimed to find what biota persists under this dominant land use, and sites with both sheep grazing and cattle grazing were included. The information collected will be used to work with landholders and agencies to manage the significant biodiversity associated with survey sites and the Eastern Hills area in general. The Eastern Mt Lofty Ranges (Nature Conservation Society) Survey is part of the Biological Survey of South Australia Program which is a series of systematic surveys conducted across the state between 1971 and the present with the broad aim of providing a baseline inventory of South Australia's flora and fauna biodiversity.
