We are counting grazing animal pellets at a number of plots on the Yanakie Isthmus. The counts are used to assess trends in the local grazing animal populations. The data feeds into a long-term project to restore the Coastal Grassy Woodlands on the Isthmus.
We held our last count for the year on Tuesday 9th November. From now on the weather is warmer and the native dung beetles will reduce the dung pellets before we can get to it.
The next count will be in March or April 2022. We will advise.
Friends of the Prom acknowledges the Traditional Aboriginal Custodians of Country throughout Australia and pay our respects to them, their culture and their Elders, past, present and future.
