Regeneration of remnant Blue Gum High Forest vegetation following the cessation of mowing
- Native plant species were recorded on a small mown remnant of Blue Gum High Forest in Observatory Park, Pennant Hills, in northwestern Sydney, in 1979 and 1988. In 1989 an area was set aside in the Park, in which mowing was stopped and bush regeneration commenced and is ongoing. Native species were recorded 5 times over the following 11 years, during which time the number of native species recorded rose from 47 to 126. The result demonstrates the potential for mown bushland sites containing native species to regenerate with appropriate treatment.
