Discover Your Local Vegetation and Land Units

Curious about the native vegetation that could naturally occur on your property? Want to understand the land units that shape your local landscape? Land units are areas of land with consistent soil, vegetation, and topographic features- understanding them helps guide land management and conservation efforts.

Follow the steps below to access a tailored plant list and land unit map for your block. These resources have been developed over many years of ecological research in Central Australia. We’re proud to share them freely, because everyone should have access to tools that support wildlife on their property.

If you find these resources valuable and would like to contribute to their ongoing development, please consider making a donation.
