Helping to save the extremely rare Woods Well spyridium

The Woods Well spyridium (Spyrdium fontis-woodii) project is working to protect the plant from extinction in the Limestone Coast. 

A partnership to secure the future of Woods Well spyridium

Iconic to the Coorong region, the Limestone Coast Landscape Board, in collaboration with the Botanic Gardens and State Herbarium of South Australia along with local partners, have established a series of projects to safeguard this plants future.

We are focussing on seed collection and translocation of propagated seedlings to establish a new population.

Listed as critically endangered under the Federal Environment Protection and Biodiversity Act it is important for us to protect and learn more about this special plant.

We look forward to learning more about their habitat requirements and seeing more Woods Well spyridium (Spyridium fontis-woodii) plants in our landscape soon.

We would love to discover more populations of this species, if landholders in the Coorong region believe they have Woods Well spyridium on their property please contact us.
