Native Plants of the Slopes and Mountains of the New South Wales Eastern Murray Region Climbers & Creepers Climbers & Creepers Native Plants of the Slopes and Mountains of the New South Wales Eastern Murray Region Native Plants of the Slopes and Mountains of the New South Wales Eastern Murray Region This brochure has been prepared to aid identification of a selection of native plants from the slopes and mountains in the Eastern Murray Region of NSW (see map at back). The photos may assist in identifying some of the more common groundlayer herbs, shrubs and trees. The colour coded vegetation communities distribution map will help you with your identification. Photos show plants in flower and colours may vary depending on location. Photos are not to scale. This brochure provides a good starting point, but many species can look similar. Please see the references and resources listed in this brochure for accurate species identification. How Can I Help? To help conserve places where native plants persist, please: • Join a local Field Naturalists, Environment, Friends, or Landcare group • Ask your Shire to include any diverse native areas you know of in their roadside conservation plan If you own or manage land: • Minimise earthworks in areas with native vegetation • Minimise application of herbicides and fertiliser in areas with native vegetation • Identify and control weed species • Control rabbits • Sustainably graze areas to allow plants to flower, set seed and regenerate • Contact Murray LLS to talk about managing and enhancing native vegetation For More Information: Murray Local Land Services www.murray.lls.nsw.gov.au Albury (02) 6051 2200, Tumbarumba (02) 6948 9197 Murray Regional Landcare Facilitator (02) 6036 3181 www.murraylandcare.com.au Greater Hume Shire (02) 6036 0100 www.greaterhume.nsw.gov.au Tumbarumba Shire (02) 6948 9100 www.tumbashire.nsw.gov.au Albury City Council (02) 6023 8111 www.alburycity.nsw.gov.au Nature Conservation Trust of NSW (02) 6051 9884 nct.org.au NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service – Khancoban visitor centre (02) 6076 9373 www.environment.nsw.gov.au/nationalparks Photography All photographs shown here have been donated.
