BURNIE LOCAL PLANTING GUIDE

February 2024

Cradle Coast NRM has collated information to create a local planting guide for each of the nine municipalities in the Cradle Coast region.

The guide lists plants that are common throughout the region and identifies local native plants that do well in revegetation sites.

To assist with the selection of plants suitable to your needs, the guide identifies the vegetation community, soil type, purpose and propagation of each plant species.

All listed plants are available to purchase from your local native plant nurseries.

BENEFITS OF PLANTING LOCAL NATIVE SPECIES There are many benefits in using native plants to revegetate the local landscape.

For example, they require relatively lower inputs to establish and maintain.

RESTORATION TIPS - PLANT FOR SURVIVAL! Identify, protect and enhance areas of native remnant vegetation on your property.

Protect naturally regenerating young native plants from browsing and other impacts.

Plan revegetation areas to enhance and link to existing native vegetation.

Order your revegetation plants from a reputable nursery 6-12 months before you want to plant.

Order resilient, easy-to-grow local species.

Protect the restoration site with fencing against vehicles and livestock well before you plant.

Prepare planting sites by spot-spraying competitive grasses and other weeds ~6 months ahead of planting.

Be careful not to kill existing native plants with ground preparation; plant around them.

Plant in autumn for maximum rainfall and use tree guards if wildlife browsing is likely.

Water plants in immediately so that soil particles adhere to tiny new roots.

Maintain regularly – replace dead plants, hand-pull weeds, straighten stakes & guards.

Seek advice! Especially for difficult sites e.g. riparian, saltmarsh or very weedy sites. For Saltmarsh plants - see A guide to Tasmanian saltmarsh wetlands for salt-tolerant species.

Enjoy your new patch, with its birds, insects and other native fauna!

Local native plants have adapted over thousands of years to the environmental conditions of the area, and thus are ideally suited to the particular climate and soil conditions of a site. Local natives maintain the ecology and biodiversity of an area and the unique character of the landscape.

Local native plants provide habitat for local fauna which have adapted to specific vegetation, and are often reliant on these plants for their survival.

Planting a mix of local native overstory, understory and groundcover species creates a more biologically diverse environment.

Local native plants provide many environmental benefits as well as contributing to the productivity of farm enterprises through the provision of shelter, wind breaks, beneficial insects and soil erosion control. Biodiverse plantings can help restore degraded land and provide timber for fence posts or firewood. p. 4

REVEGETATION GUIDELINES Prepare your soil for planting e.g. a shelterbelt in a paddock may need ripping whereas a riparian area requires minimal disturbance.

Ensure tubestock are thoroughly watered prior to planting.

Remove the plant out of the pot by squeezing the pot to loosen the plant and tipping upside down. Do not pull the plant out by the stem.

Dig a hole larger than the tube size, and plant the tubestock plant into the centre.

Backfill with loose material dug from your hole, pressing the soil down with your fingers so as to ensure there are no air pockets and to get good soil/root contact.

Aim to leave a shallow depression around the plant to drain surface water run-off; the top of the root ball of the plant should be below the finished ground level.

Gently water each plant with a few litres of water.

REVEGETATION GUIDELINES Prepare your soil for planting e.g. a shelterbelt in a paddock may need ripping whereas a riparian area requires minimal disturbance.

Ensure tubestock are thoroughly watered prior to planting.

Remove the plant out of the pot by squeezing the pot to loosen the plant and tipping upside down. Do not pull the plant out by the stem.

Dig a hole larger than the tube size, and plant the tubestock plant into the centre.

Backfill with loose material dug from your hole, pressing the soil down with your fingers so as to ensure there are no air pockets and to get good soil/root contact.

Aim to leave a shallow depression around the plant to drain surface water run-off; the top of the root ball of the plant should be below the finished ground level.

Gently water each plant with a few litres of water.

DEVONPORT LOCAL PLANTING GUIDE

February 2024

Cradle Coast NRM has collated information to create a local planting guide for each of the nine municipalities in the Cradle Coast region.

The guide lists plants that are common throughout the region and identifies local native plants that do well in revegetation sites.

To assist with the selection of plants suitable to your needs, the guide identifies the vegetation community, soil type, purpose and propagation of each plant species.

All listed plants are available to purchase from your local native plant nurseries.

BENEFITS OF PLANTING LOCAL NATIVE SPECIES RESTORATION TIPS - PLANT FOR SURVIVAL!

There are many benefits in using native plants to revegetate the local landscape.

For example, they require relatively lower inputs to establish and maintain.

Local native plants have adapted over thousands of years to the environmental conditions of the area, and thus are ideally suited to the particular climate and soil conditions of a site. Local natives maintain the ecology and biodiversity of an area and the unique character of the landscape.

Local native plants provide habitat for local fauna which have adapted to specific vegetation, and are often reliant on these plants for their survival.

Planting a mix of local native overstory, understory and groundcover species creates a more biologically diverse environment.

Local native plants provide many environmental benefits as well as contributing to the productivity of farm enterprises through the provision of shelter, wind breaks, beneficial insects Sarcocornia quinqueflora Juncus kraussi in the tidal and soil erosion control.and Biodiverse zone with bordering Melaleuca ericifolia swamp forest, plantings can helpgrading restore degraded into Eucalyptus forest behind. land and provide timber for fence posts or firewood.

p. 16

Identify, protect and enhance areas of native remnant vegetation on your property.

Protect naturally regenerating young native plants from browsing and other impacts.

Plan revegetation areas to enhance and link to existing native vegetation.

Order your revegetation plants from a reputable nursery 6-12 months before you want to plant.

Order resilient, easy-to-grow local species.

Protect the restoration site with fencing against vehicles and livestock well before you plant.

Prepare planting sites by spot-spraying competitive grasses and other weeds ~6 months ahead of planting.

Be careful not to kill existing native plants with ground preparation; plant around them.

Plant in autumn for maximum rainfall and use tree guards if wildlife browsing is likely.

Water plants in immediately so that soil particles adhere to tiny new roots.

Maintain regularly – replace dead plants, hand-pull weeds, straighten stakes & guards.

Seek advice! Especially for difficult sites e.g. riparian, saltmarsh or very weedy sites. For Saltmarsh plants - see A guide to Tasmanian saltmarsh wetlands for salt-tolerant species.

Enjoy your new patch, with its birds, insects and other native fauna!

REVEGETATION GUIDELINES Prepare your soil for planting e.g. a shelterbelt in a paddock may need ripping whereas a riparian area requires minimal disturbance.

Ensure tubestock are thoroughly watered prior to planting.

Remove the plant out of the pot by squeezing the pot to loosen the plant and tipping upside down. Do not pull the plant out by the stem.

Dig a hole larger than the tube size, and plant the tubestock plant into the centre.

Backfill with loose material dug from your hole, pressing the soil down with your fingers so as to ensure there are no air pockets and to get good soil/root contact.

Aim to leave a shallow depression around the plant to drain surface water run-off; the top of the root ball of the plant should be below the finished ground level.

Gently water each plant with a few litres of water.

KING ISLAND LOCAL PLANTING GUIDE

February 2024

Cradle Coast NRM has collated information to create a local planting guide for each of the nine municipalities in the Cradle Coast region.

The guide lists plants that are common throughout the region and identifies local native plants that do well in revegetation sites.

To assist with the selection of plants suitable to your needs, the guide identifies the vegetation community, soil type, purpose and propagation of each plant species.

All listed plants are available to purchase from your local native plant nurseries.

BENEFITS OF PLANTING LOCAL NATIVE SPECIES RESTORATION TIPS - PLANT FOR SURVIVAL!

There are many benefits in using native plants to revegetate the local landscape.

For example, they require relatively lower inputs to establish and maintain.

Local native plants have adapted over thousands of years to the environmental conditions of the area, and thus are ideally suited to the particular climate and soil conditions of a site. Local natives maintain the ecology and biodiversity of an area and the unique character of the landscape.

Local native plants provide habitat for local fauna which have adapted to specific vegetation, and are often reliant on these plants for their survival.

Planting a mix of local native overstory, understory and groundcover species creates a more biologically diverse environment.

Local native plants provide many environmental benefits as well as contributing to the productivity of farm enterprises through the provision of shelter, wind breaks, beneficial insects Sarcocornia quinqueflora Juncus kraussi in the tidal and soil erosion control.and Biodiverse zone with bordering Melaleuca ericifolia swamp forest, plantings can helpgrading restore degraded into Eucalyptus forest behind. land and provide timber for fence posts or firewood.

p. 24

Identify, protect and enhance areas of native remnant vegetation on your property.

Protect naturally regenerating young native plants from browsing and other impacts.

Plan revegetation areas to enhance and link to existing native vegetation.

Order your revegetation plants from a reputable nursery 6-12 months before you want to plant.

Order resilient, easy-to-grow local species.

Protect the restoration site with fencing against vehicles and livestock well before you plant.

Prepare planting sites by spot-spraying competitive grasses and other weeds ~6 months ahead of planting.

Be careful not to kill existing native plants with ground preparation; plant around them.

Plant in autumn for maximum rainfall and use tree guards if wildlife browsing is likely.

Water plants in immediately so that soil particles adhere to tiny new roots.

Maintain regularly – replace dead plants, hand-pull weeds, straighten stakes & guards.

Seek advice! Especially for difficult sites e.g. riparian, saltmarsh or very weedy sites. For Saltmarsh plants - see A guide to Tasmanian saltmarsh wetlands for salt-tolerant species.

Enjoy your new patch, with its birds, insects and other native fauna!

REVEGETATION GUIDELINES Prepare your soil for planting e.g. a shelterbelt in a paddock may need ripping whereas a riparian area requires minimal disturbance.

Ensure tubestock are thoroughly watered prior to planting.

Remove the plant out of the pot by squeezing the pot to loosen the plant and tipping upside down. Do not pull the plant out by the stem.

Dig a hole larger than the tube size, and plant the tubestock plant into the centre.

Backfill with loose material dug from your hole, pressing the soil down with your fingers so as to ensure there are no air pockets and to get good soil/root contact.

Aim to leave a shallow depression around the plant to drain surface water run-off; the top of the root ball of the plant should be below the finished ground level.

Gently water each plant with a few litres of water.

WEST COAST LOCAL PLANTING GUIDE

February 2024

Cradle Coast NRM has collated information to create a local planting guide for each of the nine municipalities in the Cradle Coast region.

The guide lists plants that are common throughout the region and identifies local native plants that do well in revegetation sites.

To assist with the selection of plants suitable to your needs, the guide identifies the vegetation community, soil type, purpose and propagation of each plant species.

All listed plants are available to purchase from your local native plant nurseries.

BENEFITS OF PLANTING LOCAL NATIVE SPECIES There are many benefits in using native plants to revegetate the local landscape.

For example, they require relatively lower inputs to establish and maintain.

RESTORATION TIPS - PLANT FOR SURVIVAL! Identify, protect and enhance areas of native remnant vegetation on your property.

Protect naturally regenerating young native plants from browsing and other impacts.

Plan revegetation areas to enhance and link to existing native vegetation.

Order your revegetation plants from a reputable nursery 6-12 months before you want to plant.

Order resilient, easy-to-grow local species.

Protect the restoration site with fencing against vehicles and livestock well before you plant.

Prepare planting sites by spot-spraying competitive grasses and other weeds ~6 months ahead of planting.

Be careful not to kill existing native plants with ground preparation; plant around them.

Plant in autumn for maximum rainfall and use tree guards if wildlife browsing is likely.

Water plants in immediately so that soil particles adhere to tiny new roots.

Maintain regularly – replace dead plants, hand-pull weeds, straighten stakes & guards.

Seek advice! Especially for difficult sites e.g. riparian, saltmarsh or very weedy sites. For Saltmarsh plants - see A guide to Tasmanian saltmarsh wetlands for salt-tolerant species.

Enjoy your new patch, with its birds, insects and other native fauna!

Local native plants have adapted over thousands of years to the environmental conditions of the area, and thus are ideally suited to the particular climate and soil conditions of a site. Local natives maintain the ecology and biodiversity of an area and the unique character of the landscape.

Local native plants provide habitat for local fauna which have adapted to specific vegetation, and are often reliant on these plants for their survival.

Planting a mix of local native overstory, understory and groundcover species creates a more biologically diverse environment.

Local native plants provide many environmental benefits as well as contributing to the productivity of farm enterprises through the provision of shelter, wind breaks, beneficial insects and soil erosion control. Biodiverse plantings can help restore degraded land and provide timber for fence posts or firewood. p. 36
