Threatened Species
Many threatened species occur in the region around Scottsdale. Once survey work begins in earnest we expect to find significant numbers of these species surviving on the property. So far, we know that the endangered golden sun moth, and vulnerable diamond firetail, hooded robin and gang gang cockatoo occur there. Among those we hope to find are the vulnerable spot-tailed quoll, eastern pygmy possum and Rosenberg’s goanna.
Threatened plants will also be discovered. So far, we know of the silky swainson-pea Swainsona sericea and silver-leaved gum Eucalyptus pulverulenta, which are both listed as vulnerable.
