• Continued with weed control on its bush care sites.
• Planted locally indigenous plants.
• Set about increasing co-operation between like minded environmental organizations in the NE Hills.

Identify three key environmental issues impacting on South Australia:

• 1. Climate Change (particularly reduced water quality and quantity, increasing likelihood of species loss, bushfires and extreme weather events).
• 2. Weeds

•3.     Ambiguous/inadequate legislation failing to protect indigenous flora and fauna, which is also suffering through a lack of enforcement of that legislation.
