Retain and replant native vegetation to protect against dryland salinity. Purchase high quality remnants into reservation. Encourage uptake of conservation agreements and covenants on private land. Ban firewood and bush rock harvesting. Retain fallen timber, leaf litter and standing dead trees. Exclude stock during spring and early summer when understorey may be flowering. If possible, exclude stock altogether from remnants that are being rehabilitated. Avoid fertiliser drift from adjacent crops and pastures. Increase connectivity between remnants. Fence off remnants to allow natural regeneration. If no natural recruitment occurs, inplant with tube stock from locally sourced seed. Use hand broadcast, brush mulching, niche seeding, node seeding, direct drill and hand planting to reestablish vegetation strata. Reestablishment of indigenous species is best undertaken following control of exotic plants, fire or after rain in warmer months. Small scale mosaic burning may be appropriate, and assist with weed removal, but seek advice from local NRM organisation and SA Country Fire Service prior to proceeding. Manage over-populations of native herbivore populations. Fencing should not adversely affect native (e.g. no electric fencing as bottom strand, no barbed wire on top strand). Add coarse woody debris to provide habitat (note, recycled timbers are fine, but should be untreated). In remnants with few or no mature with tree hollows, provide nesting boxes. Monitor boxes regularly for invasive species. Spot spraying, hand pulling and chipping are preferable removal methods. Stagger weed removal so as to not leave large areas of bare ground, as weed cover may be providing habitat for native fauna.
