	Scott Creek Conservation Park, South Australia Scott Creek Conservation Park, South Australia   Objective - To preserve, protect and improve the viability of populations of plants of high conservation significance. Objective - To undertake effective weed management practices and re-establish native vegetation cover on previously cleared sections. Objective - To provide for a range of sustainable and acceptable recreation activities that do not conflict with the park’s conservation values. Objective - To promote community involvement in the care and maintenance of the park. Actions: Locate, record and monitor the distribution of plants of high conservation significance. Assess the status of the plants of conservation significance located within the park and their status within the region and State. Develop species action plans and undertake protective measures where necessary. Re-introduce plants of conservation significance now extinct in the park, if local source available. Actions: Revegetate cleared sections with locally indigenous species when resources are available. Establish an inventory of weed distribution within the park. Concentrate priority weed control in the least disturbed areas of native vegetation, giving high priority to weed eradication in creeklines. Monitor the rate of spread of weed species and the competition effects of pest plants and animals on native species within the park. Evaluate weed control programs to clearly identify measurable and staged outcomes. Actions: Maintain the walking trail and track system within the park. Survey, assess and establish if appropriate, additional walking trails with associated education and information signage. Review the possibility of allowing horse riding on appropriate routes after the conclusion of the Review of Horse Riding Trails in the Mt Lofty Ranges. Consider additional recreational opportunities after a thorough investigation of the effects they may have on the conservation values of the park. Promote the partnerships between National Parks and Wildlife SA and PIRSA in the maintenance of the Almanda Silver Mine site. Monitor the impact of recreational activities and carry out remedial action as appropriate. Actions: Encourage members of the local community to join the Friends of Scott Creek Conservation Park. Promote the involvement of research and educational institutions and the wider community to participate in activities that will maintain and improve the park. Continue liaison with wider community to ensure those interested in the park can have an input. .....
