Murrumbidgee Field Naturalists
Our dry area reserves cover much of our region and represent vegetation types from before irrigated agriculture. For our purposes, what we call dry area reserves include national parks and state forests. It is in these areas that we find the most conservation programs and publicly accessible areas.
A lovely feel-good forest, with tall trees of bimble and grey box, understorey of 4 different acacias, hop bush, eriostemon and senna. Native grasses and herbs and orchids in spring.
Some of the last uncleared mallee close to Griffith. This reserve once hosted mallee fowl, but does no longer.
An example of a mature mixed woodland. Stackpoole is about 25 km north east of Goolgowi and was once used for logging cypress and for grazing.
