Purpose:
To continue rehabilitating and revegetating the Wetlands strip on the Newton Moore Senior High School site, and to monitor the rehabilitation.
- Monitor water quality in ponds by doing seasonal checks on water and pond life. Include monthly testing of pH, phosphate, nitrate and oxygen levels, temperature, turbidity and conductivity.
- Introduce testing of ammonia due to vicinity of septic tank and the algal bloom in September 1999.
- Research breeding habits of native fish, the Western Pygmy Perch and restock wetlands with native fish. Apply for funding from Fisheries Department.
- Liaise with Ribbons of Blue co-ordinator Brendan Kelly with our wetlands conditions index on aquatic invertebrates, join in activities like Snapshot Day, Wetlands Day and sample macro-invertebrates monthly.
- Apply to CALM for license Regulation 17 for 2000 to trap and continue to record data on frog species in the wetlands.
- Continue to collect seeds in February, March, November and December and germinate them. Obtain extra seedlings from Iluka Resources Ltd and
Leschenault Community Nursery.
- Plant more native sedges around pond areas. Plant wetland trees around the perimeter.
- Register with
Florabase, http://www.calm.wa.gov.au (WA Herbarium), and continue to identify native and exotic plant species.
- Remove more pampas grass and buffalo grass.
- Excavate another pond around
Modong trail to help alleviate flooding in winter and seek advice and help from Iluka Resources.
- Identify and keep records of any birds, mammals, reptiles and invertebrates observed in the area.
- Remove litter and rubbish dumped in the area.
- Continually update our ‘Wetland Research Centre’ in the classroom. Include reference books, CD’s, photo albums and a herbarium.
- Develop field guides on exotic plants and weeds, and aquatic invertebrates.
- Encourage the neighbouring Primary school to participate in activities. Invite the Primary school to help with tree planting and share our resources (field guides, water testing equipment).
- Continue to inform the school and the community of the importance of our school wetland strip and of our progress through local newspapers, daily notices and the school magazine.
- Update our web page or rebuild a new
web page.
- Use trends in 2000 data to help reassess status of the wetlands and modify our action plan for 2001.
