Wolseley Common - Friends of Bool and Hacks Lagoons

Wolseley Common Conservation Park comprises the former parklands of Wolseley, which is just to the south-east of Bordertown in the Upper Limestone Coast region of South Australia. This small park of approximately 25 hectares is of great conservation significance. It protects one of the few remaining stands of Buloke Woodland on gilgai soil, a vegetation community, which is classified as endangered under national legislation. The Buloke Woodland conserved by the park has been found to represent the best example of a remnant pure Buloke Low Woodland ecosystem on gilgai soil in South Australia. It is believed that this vegetation community once supported a number of distinct native fauna species. Today, the park is known to provide habitat for threatened bird, reptile and invertebrate species. This planting aims to: 1. Bolster the number of Buloke at Wolseley Common, 2. Enhance the understorey with habitat-providing shrubs. Join us as we restore this nationally significant conservation park!
