<strong>Seaford</strong> <strong>Rail</strong> Extension <strong>Vegetation</strong> <strong>Management</strong> <strong>Plan</strong><br />
5.2 <strong>Management</strong> Area 4<br />
<strong>Management</strong> Area 4 has been extensively modified through the clearing of vegetation, grazing<br />
and the planting of non-local vegetation. Native vegetation is considered to be in poor condition,<br />
with the exception of the intertidal and supratidal zones where samphire and chenopod<br />
communities exist. Large areas of non native trees and shrubs have been planted on the upper<br />
slopes along the western border while large areas of open exotic grass / herblands are<br />
dominating the outer riparian zone.<br />
Extensive woody weed control activities have been undertaken in recent years resulting in a<br />
significant reduction in Olive and Boxthorn infestations. Follow up control will be required in<br />
areas designated for revegetation.<br />
