Flora & Fauna

This is a guide to some of the naturally occurring plants in North West Tasmania using photographs all taken in the region. The informative text includes information for plant identification as well as propagation and cultivation tips. The bushwalking exploits and horticultural prowess of Jim McLeod and Sue Gray has given them a unique insight into the interesting flora of the region. However they go further and detail how plants can aid in preventing erosion, provide habitat and food for native birds and animals, and moderate the climate for farming pursuits. Many of these local plants can also be beautiful garden specimens. This book is a good start for those contemplating a revegetation programme for degraded bushland, or for those who would like local plants in their garden.
