the species was incorporated into the new Brougham Sugarloaf Conservation Area through the Regional Forest Agreement.

  At the beginning of the Recovery Plan, 55% of the known habitat of the species was protected through reservation. During the life of the Recovery Plan a further 11% of the populations by area were protected.

  Prescriptions for conservation of the species and its habitat were developed and incorporated into Forest Practices and Local Government planning processes.

  Several thousand white gum seedlings were grown and distributed to landowners. Plantings were undertaken in historically cleared areas of Dennes Hill Nature Reserve and experimental plots were established on cleared land and pasture on Bruny Island.

  A major publicity campaign resulted in a dramatic increase in public awareness in eastern Tasmania of the species and its plight and a subsequent Honours research project in 1999.

Achievements of the 2006-2010 Recovery Plan (from Threatened Species Section 2012)
  Increased protection of populations on private land through perpetual covenants and management agreements, increasing the species reservation status to 77%.
