Dingo Mountain, Crows Nest

Comprehensive Flora & Fauna Survey

Between September 2022 and May 2024, Leaftail Environmental intensively surveyed a 56 hectare reserve on the eastern outskirts of Crows Nest township, known as Dingo Mountain. Existing Regional Ecosystem mapping was also refined and amended. With over 500 flora species and almost 300 fauna species being recorded during the study period, their published scientific report showcased the area’s biodiversity, while a separate internal report was produced to provide management recommendations to the Crows Nest Environmental Board. The results have been instrumental in guiding the future direction for the reserve and shaping the Business Plan which is currently in preparation.

Leaftail Environmental were an integral part of a volunteer survey team assembled by the Habitat Jondaryan steering committee. Over three days, the fungi, flora, mammals, birds, reptiles, fish and invertebrates of the Jondaryan area were surveyed by 30+ volunteers. The area features significant Regional Ecosystems, which in turn support threatened species such as the Painted Honeyeater. Results from the survey weekend were compiled into a report and will assist in raising awareness of the conservation values of the district. Download a copy of the report.
