Eucalyptus open forests with a grassy understorey vegetation profile 82.13% Remaining Commonly found species within this community Eucalyptus viminalis; Eucalyptus amygdalina; Eucalyptus delegatensis; Eucalyptus morrisbyi; Eucalyptus dalrympleana; Bursaria spinosa; Allocasuarina verticillata; Dodonaea viscosa; Acacia dealbata; Acacia mearnsii; Acacia melanoxylon; Banksia marginata; Exocarpos cupressiformis; Poa spp.; Austrodanthonia spp.; Pteridium esculentum; Lomandra longifolia; Themeda triandra; tussock rush. Management recommendations Encourage uptake of conservation agreements and covenants on private land. Protect riparian zones and avoid riverbank erosion through maintaining native vegetation. Retain standing dead trees and fallen timber and ban firewood collection and timber harvesting. possible, exclude livestock from remnants. Avoid spray drift from adjacent paddocks into remnants. Encourage regeneration through fencing and stock exclusion. Do not plant into high quality sites as this disturbs natural succession patterns and compositional balance. Where necessary, undertake revegetation using locally sourced seed and/or tube stock. paddock trees in nearby agricultural land as these provide critical landscape linkages. If few, or no hollow bearing trees are present within remnants then place nest boxes for mammals and birds on larger trees. Monitor and manage boxes regularly for invasive species. Ensure fencing is wildlife friendly. No electrical fencing of bottom strand, and no barbed wire. Implement hygiene practices to avoid spread of disease, such as avoiding introduction of foreign soil or plant material.

Management recommendations
Encourage uptake of conservation agreements and covenants on private land. Protect from conversion to cropping. Do not set stock. However, strategic grazing is an effective tool for maintaining the diversity and abundance of grassland species. Seek advice from the Tasmanian Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment on grazing regimes that balance productivity with biodiversity outcomes. Fire can be used to control incursion of species into grassland remnants. Burning is recommended when there is no gap visible between tussocks. Autumn is the best season for burning. Seek advice from the Tasmanian Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment Threatened Species Unit on appropriate burning regimes for your property. Monitor to see whether it is being utilised as shelter by bandicoots. Seek advice from your NRM organisation prior to gorse removal if this is the case. Monitor and manage woody weeds, such as broom, gorse and Spanish heath. Avoid adverse impacts from chemicals or other mechanisms to manage weeds. Manage cats, dogs and rabbits. Wet tussock grassland with herbs, sedges or rushes, herblands or ferns vegetation profile 99.58% Remaining Commonly found species within this community Lepidosperma filiforme; Centella cordifolia; Eucalyptus gunnii; Eucalyptus gunnii Divaricata; Astelia alpina; Gleichenia alpina; Baloskion australe; Billardiera scandens; Glycine clandestina; Imperata cylindrica; Hemarthria uncinata; Microlaena stipoides; Poa spp.; Carex spp.; sedge; fern; heath; tussock grass; rush. Management recommendations Encourage uptake of conservation agreements and covenants on private land. Exclude stock and maintain fences to control domestic stock access. Develop and implement suitable fire management strategies to protect Alpine Sphagnum Bogs and Associated Fens ecological community. Eradicate weeds, especially Spanish heath and Salix spp. Willows. Undertake early detection and eradication of founder populations of new invasive weeds. Manage public access to prevent spread of and plant disease. Ensure strict hygiene protocols are in to avoid spread of Phytophthora cinnamomi.
