Leave the species list to the right, blank. Circle the applicable: Purpose of planting habitat windbreak honey screening revegetating waterway Soil type sandy limestone salty erosion control firewood fodder shade clay rocky swampy Site conditions level gentle slope steep slope north / south / east / west facing slope Annual Rainfall OR I WILL SELECT MY OWN SPECIES Please read the ordering guidelines below and fill out the species list, to the right. There are 50 seedlings per box. Please indicate the species you d like to order by placing the number of boxes in the highlighted column. If you are requesting a volunteer grower you may only select species from the top section of the species list. You may select from both sections if you are growing your own. Species on the Grow My Own list may be harder to grow and there are no back up plants available for these species. You may order ½ boxes, but if you choose a volunteer grower the maximum number of ½ boxes is 2 boxes (4 species). There are no limits if you grow your own. If you would like to select species from alternative zones, place a separate seedling order for each zone. All the species listed will provide wildlife habitat value. If there are species you would like to order that are not found on the list, enquire to see if our Nursery can grow them for you (fees apply).

4 NOARLUNGA ZONE INFORMATION Please note which subzone your property lies within. Select species specific to your particular subzone by referring to the last column in the table on the enclosed Order Form. Subzone 1 - RIDGES AND SLOPES This area, which is roughly the eastern half of the zone, has a moderate rainfall, increasing to the east. Soils range from sand over light sandy clay to medium clay. The landscape is predominately ridges and moderate slopes, in a transition between the Adelaide Plains and the Southern Lofty Ranges. The vegetation is principally Grey Box and Pink Gum woodland, with Southern Blue Gum and Rough Barked Manna Gum in wetter locations, and River Red Gum generally confined to creeklines. Subzone 2 - GREY BOX AND MALLEE BOX WOODLAND This area, which is roughly the western half of the zone, has a lower rainfall than the east. The topography is generally undulating low hills, running to the coast. The soils in this subzone are highly variable, ranging from heavy clays over limestone, to deep sands. The vegetation is principally Grey Box and Mallee Box woodlands, with River Red Gum confined to creek lines. This area is very rich in biodiversity, and is complex. This guide should be used along with a comprehensive look at the local vegetation communities in your area. Need help or more information? Visit info@treesforlife.org au or call (08)

5 LETS LOOK AT WHY YOU ARE PLANTING It s important to consider why you want to plant when placing your order. This will help you choose the right plants and plan your revegetation project effectively. Planting for biodiversity? What is missing that could help wildlife on your property? Choose shrubs and groundcovers as well as trees a diverse mix of species is best. A healthy understorey can support a balanced community of insects and birds which will control harmful insects as well as manage weeds and risks to soil. Bigger areas are better for wildlife than smaller ones. Shape is critical; wide areas provide a greater buffer than long narrow areas. Try to put back what was there. Look at nearby patches of similar remnant vegetation to see which plants grow where and at what density. There are often more understorey species than trees in healthy native remnants. Site Visits If you would like a site visit please contact your local NRM or one of our TFL Works team members can provide a quote for a site management plan. Link your project to other efforts on your property, district, or region for the greatest impact. Or planting for a special purpose? Windbreaks Windbreaks work by lessening the force of the wind. For best results, plant windbreaks at right angles to the direction of the wind you are protecting against. Crops are generally worst affected by hot, drying northerly winds while livestock are at risk from cold winds and rain often from the south or south-west. Height and Length The taller the windbreak, the larger the area it protects (see figure 1). Planting understorey in the break will fill gaps and help maintain the health of larger plantings long-term. Windbreaks are most effective when they extend unbroken at least 12 times longer than the mature height of the planted trees. If the windbreak is too short, wind can deflect at high speed into the area you are trying to protect. Wind direction Full wind strength (w) Sheltered distance behind windbreak (multiples of tree height) Figure 1: A properly designed windbreak provides shelter up to 25 times its height downwind and 5 times its height upwind. Tree Spacing and Gaps Optimum tree spacing will be determined by the plants selected and factors such as climate and soil. Allow access for weed control and maintenance. Understorey plants should be planted closer together than larger trees. Gaps are required for gates and tracks but to minimise the funnelling effect angle the gap at about 45 degrees to the prevailing wind or plant a few short trees or shrubs on either side of the gate or track. Number of Rows Windbreaks of three rows are effective for most farm situations, and less affected by gaps caused by missing trees. Avoid single row windbreaks. Salinity Salinity degrades land through an increase in salt concentrations in the environment, watercourses or soil. One of the best ways to combat salinity is to plant salt-tolerant deeprooted trees and shrubs to take up excess saline water. Time to recover As a first step, fence off the site, remove stock, and then leave the site like this for as long as possible before planting. This allows it to recover and often native plants will self seed or establish, saving you time and effort. Position Begin planting native trees and shrubs in the water recharge area rather than directly into the salty scald. Here the plants will begin to use excess water, reducing the groundwater recharge. Gradually it may be possible to plant into the scalded area once it has stabilised. Other production benefits It is possible to revegetate to combat salinity and produce a financial or useful crop such as woodlots, fodder, saltbush, cut flowers and bush food. Before investing in an alternative long term crop, it is important to prepare a plan and seek advice from local NRM or Primary Industry Officers.
