Hopkins Creek (Nature Conservation Society) Survey

The fauna and flora survey of the Hopkins Creek area was conducted in Nov/Dec 2003. The area had been recently purchased by the Department of Environment &amp; Heritage and had not been surveyed before, even though it supports a large area of native habitat that requires documenting. Surrounding land parcels are heavily impacted by grazing and tourism respectively. By identifying the most suitable/sustainable location for a walking trail sensitive breeding, foraging and plant recruitment habitat may be left undisturbed and the area may be enjoyed by the public without adverse effect. Significant expertise from specialist groups was utilised to lead the bird, fish, mammal, herpetology and plant components of the field survey at 7 different sites with different habitats.
