Eusdale Nature Reserve Plan of Management

Eusdale Nature Reserve was acquired as a direct result of broad community support for conservation of the area. Eusdale Nature Reserve and adjoining land form an important part of the catchment area for the Macquarie River. The majority of the vegetation is dry open woodland, however they also contain sub-alpine (montane) woodland vegetation, which is poorly represented in the Central Tablelands. A total of 168 native plant species have been recorded. Four threatened animal species have been recorded in the reserves: the powerful owl, gang gang cockatoo, Booroolong frog and purple (Bathurst) copper butterfly.
