Adelaideans can use the Net to access a map of what the
vegetation was like in their area in 1836 before European settlement. The idea
is to find out what native plants existed in particular areas and to encourage
the replanting of those species in what is now suburban Adelaide. The map has
been produced by the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the
Department of Environment and Natural Resources. It divides areas into 21
different plant groups, including open forests, woodlands, shrublands, reed beds
and grasslands. The map is available on www.ida.sa.gov.au
