or management plan/system (see Action 1.1 and 2.2).  For at least high priority sites, develop site-specific management plans and implement as resources allow. Ideally, all public land supporting Spiny Rice-flower must have an active management plan approved of by the Pimelea spinescens Recovery Team including annual census and a process for adaptive improvement over time. For roadsides and rail reserves in particular, wider consultation will be necessary for the development of these plans (e.g., municipal fire prevention committees).  All sites (at least priority and public land sites) have adaptive management plan endorsed by the Recovery Team and are actively managed accordingly.                                           * Local, State and Commonwealth Planning and Environment Departments

Strategy 2: Research on population and management requirements

Closing the knowledge gap strategy involves actions to acquire accurate information for conservation status and assessments of populations' growth rate and viability; to rigorously define habitat that is critical to the survival; and to identify key biological functions, ecology and management requirements with emphasis on seed and seedling ecology, fire-recruitment dynamics, pollinator and dispersal
