Tony Lawson requested that STEP news publicise the news that the Scientific Committee, established by the Threatened Species Conservation Act, has made a Final Determination to list the Tablelands Snow Gum, Black Sallee, Candlebark and Ribbon Gum Grassy Woodland in the South Eastern Highlands, Sydney Basin, South East Corner and NSW South Western Slopes Bioregions as an ENDANGERED ECOLOGICAL COMMUNITY in Part 3 of Schedule 1 of the Act. Listing of Endangered Ecological Communities is provided for by Part 2 of the Act.
NOTE: The Scientific Committee placed a Preliminary Determination regarding this ecological community on public exhibition under the name Tablelands Frost Hollow Grassy Woodlands in the South Eastern Highlands, Sydney Basin, South East Corner and NSW South Western Slopes Bioregions. The Committee considers that Tablelands Snow Gum, Black Sallee, Candlebark and Ribbon Gum Grassy Woodland in the South Eastern Highlands, Sydney Basin, South East Corner and NSW South Western Slopes Bioregions is a more appropriate name for this ecological community. Our STEP site includes examples of the Tablelands Snow Gum and in the future hopes to plant a selection of understorey species that are typical found in this endangered community.
