Site Map:
Worksites Site 1 is beside track from the
lower car park. Mature eucalypts provide shade and shelter to the seedlings in Site 1
Site 2 Adjacent to site 1 - is mostly covered by blady grass (Imperata cylindrica var major) and whisky grass. The shadows from the rainforest trees are allowing the blady grass to overtake the whisky grass. Seedlings were planted in this area on World Tree Day 2003. Site 2
Site 3 Soil was taken

Site 4
Lantana and tobacco bush were the dominant weeds here. The area
has a light canopy of ageing Acacias which are starting A large patch of palm grass needed to be poisoned, with good result. Site 4 Palm Grass Site 4 Dead Palm Grass
Area 4 1999 One year later Area 4 in 2003 Site 5 is a sheltered gully providing protection for nesting birds. Some weeding was necessary and natural seedlings progressed well. However, recent storms have blown down several large trees that has opened the canopy .
Site 5 1998 Site 5 2001 
Site 6 is the narrow strip between the track and Seymour  Pond. Natural regrowth is healthy so the area now
needs only occasional weeding.
Site 6 2003 Site 7 is between sites 3 and 5 on a steep slope. Mature trees provide protection for the natural regeneration. As a result there are very few  weeds.
