FMV is considering the
reality of extending the scope of the current list (below) really
applies only to the area of the Afton Street Conservation Park. We
are seeking to find the level of support for extending the range to
extend from, say, Westgate to Sunbury and the range to include all
major groups of plants and animals. It is acknowledged that such a
project would be beyond the capacity and expertise of FMV members
but with collaboration of specialist groups in the area, could be a
reality.
It could not be expected
to be comprehensive but FMV could be at the heart of open ended
checklist that included observed species of interest or of note
occurring in the Maribyrnong Valley. Feedback to
John Upsher please.
