In November 1998, Ryde Council commissioned a bushland corridor mapping project with the aim of gaining an overview of the extent and type of remnant bushland and other vegetation in the Ryde LGA. The study’s main aims were firstly to map all remnant bushland in the Ryde LGA and to digitise the information for useon Council’s GIS system. VIS_ID 3960

In August 2000, Council expanded the study to update the vegetation maps and to prepare a comprehensive information database for the management and restoration of bushland and other vegetation in Ryde. This was a further step towards compiling information that would better allow Council to achieve the objectives of Council’s Plan of Management for natural areas.
