Bimbowrie Conservation Reserve Biological Survey Survey

The Survey of Bimbowrie Conservation reserve is conducted in three parts. In 2005, Survey Sites were established for purposes of flora and fauna survey. Flora survey had the principal aim of describing and mapping floristic communities on the reserve. Fauna surveys, also conducted initially in 2005, are intended to be repeated regularly. The third part to the survey is monitoring for landscape recovery, expected as result of stock removal and ongoing herbivore control.

An established photopoint Site Network on the reserve assists evaluating expected landscape recovery and these monitoring sites are included in the survey, to improve data quality of species identification. Being a monitoring exercise, these sites will be regularly visited. The Bimbowrie Conservation Reserve Biological Survey 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.
