An endangered plant species has been found on the Lower Snowy River. Bolwarra or Eupomatia laurina is sometimes known as Copper Laurel or Native Guava.
It was found by contractors undertaking weed maintenance works for East Gippsland Catchment Management Authority (EGCMA).
EGCMA’s acting CEO Amber Clarke said, ‘with everyone working together over a long time, we have seen positive changes to the river, and to find this endangered species flourishing is very exciting’.
