The importance of native vegetation in the Limestone Coast
Hidden amongst these scattered remnants lie threatened flora. Between the ancient trees such as South Australian Blue Gums and Stringy Bark Woodlands native animals seek refuge in the remnant corridors to move through the landscape. Native vegetation provides habitat and food for our regions fauna proving vital to their life cycle.
Native vegetation has shaped the Limestone Coast’s culture and identity for thousands of years. The land and its resources underpin First Nations history, innovation, spirituality and economics.
