Funding was supplied to the Nambucca Shire Council by the NSW Environmental Trust and the North Coast Local Land Services to reduce the impact of Bitou Bush and large woody weeds on an endangered population of Native Legume, the Glycine Clandestina (broad leaf form) that is only known to grow in the Themeda grass headlands just to the south of Scotts Head village.
Little is known about the intricate link this discrete little creeper has within the bio-diversity of the coastal head land communities, but its preservation and the maintenance to the threatened ecological community (coastal Themeda grass land on sea cliffs) in which it exists, is a great step in assisting bio-diversity conservation on the Mid North Coast.
