Info

In the Pelican Point area of the Reserve, non-local species are less common but are of greaterconcern, particularly the Coastal Ti-tree and the salt sheoak Casuarina glauca. Both perform asweeds and detract from the value of this area (Keighery, in press). The area should be rehabilitatedand local species grown to create ecological and visual continuity with the adjoining nature reserve.The Pelican Point area of the Reserve has degraded due to rubbish dumping and burning, but it canbe rehabilitated with local species.The Reserve is used for tree-planting events such as Arbor Day. Both local and non-local species willbe planted in the Matilda Bay area. Local species only will be planted in the Pelican Point area.Concern has been expressed about a number of trees on the Reserve which have dropped limbs andcaused damage, and which remain a safety hazard to visitors and property.ACTIONS1. Prepare a tree management plan as part of a comprehensive landscape plan which provides forlong-term planting, being mindful of the historic value of existing non-local species.2. In the Pelican Point area adjacent to the nature reserve create a transition to a more indigenouslandscape including replacing non-local trees as they die or become diseased with indigenousspecies (as per the landscape plan).3. Promote and protect indigenous plant communities in the Pelican Point area.4. Assess each tree on the Reserve and take appropriate action if a threat to life or property exists.5. Protect trees of special significance on the Reserve, for example, those planted on specialoccasions.36
