Management recommendations Purchase remnants of Coolibah Black Box and Inland Grey Box ecological communities into reservation. Encourage uptake of conservation agreements on private land. Retain fallen timber and hollow bearing (including dead trees) and ensure that trees are always left to grow to maturity. Protect and maintain water table and water flows by wise use of water and maintenance of native vegetation. Protect remnants during works. Manage total grazing pressure at important sites through exclusion fencing or other barriers. e.g. Fence riparian areas and stream banks. Manage livestock grazing practices and density. Reduce fertiliser and herbicide application. Implement water efficiency measures for existing irrigation and dryland cropping infrastructure. Revegetate gullies and stream banks where vegetation has been cleared and widen the strip of riparian vegetation. Plant eucalypts that develop hollows. Create or restore wildlife corridors and linkages. Develop appropriate fire management plans. Provide maps to local and state Rural Fire Services. If few hollow bearing trees are present place nest boxes in remnants; monitor nest boxes for invasive species (e.g. Indian myna and noisy miners). Manage weeds including Lippia (Phyla canescens) and African Boxthorn (Lycium ferocissimum). Avoid inappropriate chemical use or mowing/slashing to eradicate weeds. Control animals contributing to grazing pressure and trampling. Manage underlying causes of dieback in New England Peppermint and Grey Box, such as outbreaks of insects, which can proliferate in areas of weed infestation and in surrounding modified pastures.
