Twenty kilometres of the Malago and Pigeonhouse Stream and their
tributaries were surveyed over the 20th, 21st and 23rd May 2010. Physical
access was gained to over 85% of the watercourses where they flowed in an
open channel. Slightly more than 3 kilometres of watercourse were found to
be culverted.
The timing of the survey not only offered an excellent opportunity to record
and assess the riparian and emergent vegetation associated with the streams,
it was also particularly good with regard to assessing the vegetation of the
more wooded sections of stream as many species of herbaceous woodland
plants are spring flowering.
