Funded Activity Summary
Rapid genetic delineation of local provenance for effective restoration of urban bushland remnants. Urban bushland remnants are a significant national resource. The rehabilitation of these remnants is a major enterprise drawing on national, state and local resources and substantial community involvement. Best practise recognises that material sourced from the local provenance is critical. Despite this, accurate guidelines on provenance are lacking. We will utilise powerful molecular markers to rapidly generate provenance guidelines for priority species of the Swan coastal plain. We will work closely with restoration practitioners to ensure practical outcomes through adaptive management. Our objective is to generate a provenance atlas for the native plant restoration industry, with benefits flowing nationally.Funded Activity Details
