Initial surveys at Jane Eliza Woodlot were undertaken in 2016 before watering started and found that the site was dominated by samphire with the woodlot section dominated by swamp oak, KI tea tree and a number of Western Australian eucalyptus species.
Since watering began in 2017, the condition of the site has improved. During natural flooding, channels would link the northern size of Jane Eliza Woodlot to Johnson’s Waterhole. These links have now been restored, as well as a southern link to Bookmark Creek, which now allows water to flow across a significant section of the Ral Ral Floodplain.
The site provides habitat for a diverse range of birds and frogs. During monitoring at the site, eighteen species of waterbird, seven species of woodland birds, and four frog species have been recorded.
