Reeves Plains Biological Survey (NCSSA) 2009 Survey

This project aims to collect data on the flora and fauna of remnant vegetation sites within the area known as Reeves Plains,
north of Gawler in the Adelaide Mount Lofty Ranges (AMLR) region. The project will address knowledge gaps in baseline data
on fauna that is at risk from sand mining and is being undertaken in collaboration with the South Australian Herpetology Group
Inc. The survey is to be undertaken to meet with the biological survey standards of the Department of Environment and
Heritage (DEH), and lodged with the Biological Survey of SA database to enable sharing of information between state agencies
and community groups working towards biodiversity conservation.

The vegetation and birds will be surveyed September 19-20 (2009) and other fauna before the end of the year. The Reeves Plains Biological Survey (NCSSA) 2009 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.
