6. Liaise with mining companies, government departments and other land users to ensure an exchange of ideas on the latest techniques and standards in rehabilitation. Research and Monitoring 7. Investigate techniques for converting the selected areas of mallet plantation to communities of original species, and monitor the effects on fauna. 8. Monitor rehabilitation programs to ensure that the aims are being achieved, and to ensure that improvements are incorporated. 24. PUBLIC UTILITIES BACKGROUND The many service and utility easements in the area impinge on Dryandra Woodland. These include the Wandering - Narrogin and York - Williams roads, Telecom cables, water supply pipes and powerlines servicing the Settlement. ISSUES • The provision of service and utility corridors and the associated clearing of land has had a direct impact on Dryandra's environment and landscape values. There is also a risk that disease and weeds will be spread, while cleared areas improve access for feral animals. • Native fauna, in particular the Numbat and Woylie, are at risk from traffic along major roads. OBJECTIVE • Minimise the impact of services and utilities on Dryandra's environment and landscape values. STRATEGIES 1. Encourage the placement of any new utility corridors outside Dryandra or along existing access routes. Encourage alternative, low impact methods of providing services, for example underground cables. 2. Ensure that strict dieback disease hygiene conditions apply when maintenance of utilities and corridors is undertaken. 3. Refer any new proposal for utility corridors through the Woodland to the Environmental Protection Authority. 87
COMMUNITY RELATIONS 25. EDUCATION, INFORMATION AND INTERPRETATION BACKGROUND An effective education, information and interpretation program is an essential component of management. It informs the public of the values, facilities, and recreational opportunities available and provides an avenue for greater understanding of the natural environment and its management. Dryandra Woodland, with its conservation, recreation and production values, and agricultural setting, has a diversity of plants and animals (natural diversity), and land uses. These factors, and recent growth in visitor numbers, have increased opportunities to promote the principle that the maintenance of natural biodiversity is essential to sustain each individual's quality of life-that is, if humans conserve and respect the richness, integrity, and stability of their biological and physical environment, ecosystems will remain healthy and sustain the activities of humans and other life forms. This basic tenet has been adopted as the theme for future education, interpretation and information programs within Dryandra. Relevant subjects for such programs include sustainable land use, maintenance of biodiversity and ecological processes, minimal impact recreation, and cultural heritage issues. ISSUES • The User Survey indicated a need to improve pre-visit and on-site interpretation by providing signs, maps, guides for activities, and information on the Dryandra environment (CALM 1992c). • Information about Dryandra needs to be integrated with that for other Wheatbelt areas, to avoid unnecessary repetition. OBJECTIVE • Develop the community's understanding of, and commitment to, the principle that biodiversity is essential to sustain each individual's quality of life. Community education, information and interpretation programs will aim to achieve the objective by developing awareness and understanding amongst the community, and providing the opportunity for individuals to experience and adopt compatible values. 88
