Vegetation

The Rapid Creek Landcare Group developed this species list to inform revegetation projects in the catchment. 

• Rapid Creek Native Vegetation

In the 1990's Greening Australia led a catchment wide approach to managing vegetation at Rapid Creek. Their Rapid Creek Management Plan led large projects which rehabilitated vegetation communities whilst engaging the Darwin community and stakeholders along the way.
