Climate Resilient Landscapes – A Planting Guide for the Northern Rivers Region aims to help residents to adapt to climate variability. The guide explains the changes that our region is likely to experience and the steps we can take to prepare our gardens and the wider landscape to be resilient through these changes. There are lists of endemic native species which are drought tolerant, fire resilient, flood resilient, salt tolerant, frost tolerant, wind tolerant, sequester carbon, and provide habitat and food.
Hardcopies are available from the Byron Shire Council Offices in Mullumbimby, your local Landcare office or your local library.

A guide to species selection and planting methods for planting our rivers and creeks in the Brunswick Catchment. Catchment location based species lists along with the toe, mid and upper bank specific species.
This excellent resource, created by long-term local volunteer Margie Hall, is perfect for selecting the right plants to attract various types of native wildlife. You can download the guide for free. Laminated hard copies are also available for a small fee at the Byron Shire Council Offices in Mullumbimby and your local Landcare office.
This online guide allows users to build native species planting lists for projects ranging from landscape-scale restoration to back garden planting.
The user can view a colour photograph of each plant and explore its characteristic features to improve the chances of a successful planting in any setting.
You will find more than 1550 locally occurring native species in the guide including their physical attributes (height, habit and flower colour), environmental tolerances (sun, frost, salt and wind hardiness), ecological relationships (key fauna food, butterfly and bird attracting), preferred soil types and broad landscape locations. Species are also assigned to vegetation mapping types and have a nursery ‘availability’ score.
The Byron version of the guide is easy to use and available online.
This booklet uniquely compiles a comprehensive reference guide for small forest floor plants and offers easy access to essential information, all in the one place.
