Management recommendations Encourage uptake of conservation agreements and covenants to protect remnants. Protect acacia species from clearing and lopping for drought fodder. Avoid firewood collection (dead and fallen trees). Retain standing dead trees. Use lopping methods that do not result in the of the dominant tree species. Prevent trampling and excessive grazing pressure in key remnant sites. Use strategic grazing, and where possible exclude stock to allow regeneration to occur. Avoid fertiliser and herbicide application in or near remnants. Replant understorey species (such as chenopods) where they have been depleted. Repair and expand and connect remnants. Collect and store seeds for future plantings. Implement fire regimes that protect chenopod shrubs (e.g. saltbushes and native cotton bushes). Seek advice from your NRM organisation on appropriate fire regimes. Keep stock away from known nesting sites of ground dwelling birds. Allow fallen branches and bark to remain on ground to provide fauna habitat. Do not remove mistletoe from Acacia and eucalypt species as these provide important food resources for birds and mammals. Manage sites to prevent introduction of invasive plant species. Manage grassy such as Buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris) and Coolatai grass (Hyparrhenia hirta). Avoid cultivating or disturbing the soil to prevent weed invasion. Control Bag shelter moth outbreaks in significant stands of acacia species. Control exotic pest animals at known sites.
