willows: clog water ways, impact peatlands
pine trees: planted in the early days of the resort within the resort boundaries
Hawkweed: done in conjunction with Park's Vic... have to think about soil movement with village and eradication.. vehicle hygiene

what does this mean?

a word that is also used to explain burn patterns

# data[].attributes.body
information/monitoring = a management strategy

collecting scientific data instead of just anecdotal evidence

3 methods: light traps, light beams and net transects

# data[].attributes.body
- loss of habitat (fire)
- fox and cat predators
- lack of snow for hibernation
- declining food sources (bogong moth)

# data[].attributes.body
water = short term.. base line taken upstream of the resort... downstream impacts are shown to have lessened

pygmy possum a long term environmental trend that is monitored

monitor cats and foxes with national grants (National Landcare Program) and Victorian Biodiversity something or other) for cameras... can monitor individual cats

Environmental protection measures

Trails provide access for pest animals to walk along as it is the path of least resistance they may also hunt prey in trail areas with little vegetation.

Exposed trails cause the risk of soil erosion through rain, frost and wind

Sediment movement from erosion can cause increased turbidity in water ways.

Introduction of pest species such as cinnamon fungus and hawk weed through mountain bike riders

Impact reductions:

Bike wash stations

Hawk weed eradication and Hawk weed monitoring programs

Trails that avoid risk areas

Monitoring of pest species such as cats and foxs

Act as a predator to the mountain pygmy possum and other mammals as the ecological web balance is shifted.

impact on the dispersal of male pygmy possums, threaten the genetic diversity as a result

# data[].attributes.body
4 reptiles, 4 mammals, 1 frog, 2 invertebrates and 3 flora.

# data[].attributes.body
Sediments get washed into the waterways and trails are subject to erosion from rains and bike tyres

Tracks are used by predators to travel quicker and hunt native fauna that also use the track.

plan - locate a problem and plan ways that they can make changes to protect the area.
do - have bike wash areas, move trails around risk areas
check/review - ongoing monitoring to bring in new ideas and see of changes need to be made.
act - act on the review for example put in signs to inform users of the presence of the weed and what they can do to prevent the spread.
updated roughly every five years.
