Con­ser­va­tion on pri­vate land will get a sig­nif­i­cant boost with the deliv­ery of the first round of Her­itage Agree­ment grants under the State Government’s $3 mil­lion Revi­tal­is­ing Pri­vate Con­ser­va­tion in South Aus­tralia program.

Stage two of the moun­tain bik­ing trail devel­op­ment at Wil­lowie in Mount Remark­able Nation­al Park is set to get under­way with Trailscapes, an Ade­laide based trail con­struc­tion com­pa­ny, announced as the suc­cess­ful contractor.

The state government’s autumn pro­gram of pre­scribed burns has begun, tak­ing advan­tage of the mild weath­er con­di­tions expe­ri­enced over summer.

A new­ly-acquired marine parks patrol ves­sel has deliv­ered imme­di­ate results with rangers from Nation­al Parks and Wildlife Ser­vice SA (NPWS­SA) suc­cess­ful­ly detect­ing ille­gal fish­ing activ­i­ty in South Aus­tralian sanc­tu­ary zones.

There’s no bet­ter time to vis­it the spec­tac­u­lar Ade­laide Hills than in March, as the heat of sum­mer gives way to mild, sun­ny days. And if the glo­ri­ous weath­er wasn’t rea­son enough, in March the Mount Lofty Precinct will also be cel­e­brat­ed as Nation­al Parks and Wildlife Ser­vice South Australia’s Parks of the Month.
