A Porongurup free of environmental weeds

The National Heritage listed Porongurup National Park and surrounding bushland have a very high biodiversity with over 700 flora, 300 macro-fungi and 15 lichen species. The Porongurup Range also forms the central ‘hub’ for six corridors in the Forest to Fitzgerald macro corridor.Weed infestations are threatening to replace natural ecosystems and habitats in this area. Weed infestations are also posing a direct threat to a number of rare flora, some of which occur only in the Porongurup Range.Since 2007, extensive work has been carried out in this area to control weed infestations. This project represents the next stage – to protect ecosystems and biodiversity in the Porongurup Range by working towards eradicating environmental weeds.
