Forest Creek Draft Management Plan
Posted on 3 November, 2011 by Connecting Country
Connecting Country is pleased to announce that the DRAFT FOREST CREEK MANAGEMENT PLAN is now available for public comment.
This restoration plan has been produced by Connecting Country through consultation with local community groups who have an interest in restoring the ecological health of Forest Creek and the crown land adjacent to it. It has also been informed by consultation with government bodies responsible for managing the creek and the residents who live along it. The plan documents how the creek is valued, what threats there are to its health, and how it might look in the future. Information is also provided that will help local community groups who are involved with Forest Creek.
The plan covers Forest Creek from its confluence with Barkers Creek and Campbells Creek back upstream to the Expedition Pass Reservoir. Forest Creek is a special waterway with an interesting social and cultural history. It is also an important habitat for many local plant and animal species and a great recreation area.
Connecting Country would like to thank all those who have already contributed to the plan. Comment on the draft plan is now invited. The closing date is 15 November 2011. For enquires and feedback contact Connecting Country by email: info@connectingcountry.org.au or telephone: 5472 1594.
I think it should include a list of aquatic species that have been sighted in the creek, they would include platypus ,water rat, tortoise, galaxia, gudgeon, frogs etc
Please note that the timeline for feedback has been extended to the 4th December 2011.
