Initial surveys at Jane Eliza Woodlot were undertaken in 2016 before water was first delivered, 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 return flow structure constructed at the site to allow return flows into to Bookmark Creek. Environmental water can now 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, 18 species of waterbird, 7 species of woodland birds, and 4 frog species have been recorded.
