220 southern hairy-nosed wombat burrows were discovered
on Bon Bon, extending the species' known range.
Field Naturalists Society of South Australia volunteered
on mammal and reptile surveys on Bon Bon, recording 29
species including some that were new records for the reserve.
32 kms of Stuart Hwy verge and other significant areas
on Bon Bon were treated to control buffel grass, a priority
weed species.
Healthy Landscape Manager Glen Norris was appointed
to the South Australian State Buffel Grass Taskforce.

Australian reserves.
