Learning about natural regen along Yellowbank Creek can help us decide what and how to plant on damaged riparian zones.
When the leaves are too high to see, we can use characteristics of bark, trunk, and roots to help with identification.
This spring-fed gully on Rocky Creek Rd has been cleared of some small-leafed privet along the edges.
Mature pioneer species like Calicoma dominate this rainforest gully, allowing natural regen of rainforest species underneath.
Old rainforest trees are a treasure, even out in the cleared land. This Black Apple is covered in ripening fruit, seed for the next generations of trees.
