SUMMARY:Platy-Project\, Second Field Event 14 September 2024\, 4 - 6 pm
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever had that magical moment of spotting a platypus in the wild? \nJoin us at this event to learn where to look for\, and how spot\, platypus in the wild for this great ACF/UNSW #CitizenScience project. \n \nImage: Young platypus on a log in McMahons Creek\, Yarra Ranges\, Victoria. Credit: Doug Gimesy. \nACF-AWR is excited to be hosting three events again in 2024 for the wonderful citizen science platy-project. \nThis is our third and final event and the second of our field events for this year. \nWe’re thrilled to be involved in the ACF and University of NSW citizen science Platy-Project again in 2024. \nJoin us and help researchers understand more about this elusive animal and how we can better protect it. \nWhen: 14 September\, 4 – 6 pm \nWhere: Willow Park\, Car Park\, Pearce Street\, Wodonga\, VIC. \nWhat we’ll be doing: \n\nWe’ll talk through the best ways to spot a platypus and how to not get tricked by other creatures;\nWe’ll practise our platy spotting skills with a walk around the creek to identify the best platy spotting habitat; and\nWe’ll also net and look at the water bugs to see what platypus food is in the area.\n\nYou may want to then invest time to watch and wait for a platypus to reveal itself at the end of the event.  We’ve been watching platypus in the area recently. \nWe can’t promise you will see a platypus\, but you’ll be well equipped to keep looking for platypus at your nearest river or creek to help researchers understand more about this incredible creature and help prevent further declines in their numbers. \nJoin us at our upcoming platy-project event!   \nRSVP as soon as possible so you don’t miss out.  Places are limited to ensure the event is safe and the best experience for all of us.

SUMMARY:Border Bushwalking Club - Mt Buffalo short and sharp
DESCRIPTION:There are a number of very short walks on Mt Buffalo that give great views.  We often pass them by in favour of bigger walks. Whilst they are all fairly steep\, they are short and I’m in no rush. Participants can chose to do all or some of the walks on offer. \n\nLake View: 2km. Great views of Lake Catani.  Mostly on footpad with a short Rocky bit at the top.\nThe Horn: 1km. 360degree views. A lot of steps with a Rocky part that includes a handrail.\nThe Monolith. 2km. Great views and some history. Narrow track and some steps near the top.\nThe Old Galleries. 1km. Walking through a rocky wonderland.\nCathedral/ Hump. 2km. Walking past spectacular rock formations and ending with a view. The top part is a scramble but isn’t compulsory.\nRollasens Falls or Eurobin Falls.  If people feel like a short walk on the way down we can add one or both of these.\n\nI’m hoping for a sunny September day but if the weather isn’t good I’ll postpone for another day. \nplease phone me to book in. \n\n\n\nGrade 3 Medium\nLeader: Bernadette\nPhone: 0419241687\nParticipant numbers:12\nFinal booking date: TUESDAY Sep 10th\nSome short rocky scrambles\nFor more information and updates about BBC activities\, check www.borderbushwalkingclub.com.au

SUMMARY:Have your say: Greater Hume Council proposed tree clearing
DESCRIPTION:Greater Hume Council wants to seal an existing dirt road – Jelbart Road\, Jindera. The existing remnant vegetation by the  road provides a corridor for wildlife.\n\n\nThe stretch of road to be sealed is only around 1.5km long and Council has indicated that they propose to remove somewhere between 80-90 trees of various DBHs and distances from the centre of the existing road. Some clearly cannot be a threat to falling onto the road as their main trunk leans towards the private landholding.\n\n\nThe proposal does not align with Council’s vision of “valuing community assets including natural resources”. Nor its commit to an “urban forest” environment.\n\n\nThe area is a known corridor for squirrel gliders\, and a range of other hollow dependent fauna. It also a seed collection area used by the Local Land Services. \n\nPlease email Council – mail@greaterhume.nsw.gov.au and urge them at least to change the proposal so that the road still get sealed\, but significantly few trees are removed and any trees that are hollow bearing have the hollows kept on site and placed within the existing remnants at a height of at least three metres.\n\n\nYou have until August 6th.

SUMMARY:Slow Mushrooming - identifying edible fungi (Sunday)
DESCRIPTION:Fungi are diverse\, delicious and sometimes deadly. With interest in foraging for wild food on the rise\, learning to accurately identify fungi reduces both poisoning risk to humans and harm to the environment. This event will also be useful for those who just want to learn to identify fungi (and not collect for eating). \nWooragee Landcare is delighted to again host Alison Pouliot – ecologist\, photographer and renowned presenter\, for these popular sessions. \nDeveloping the skills to find fungi requires slowness\, not speed. The workshop will focus on assisting participants to identify a few edible species thoroughly\, rather than many superficially. We will engage multiple senses to examine the major diagnostic features of edible fungi alongside their toxic lookalikes. \nWe will also follow the principles of ‘ecological foraging’ – an approach based on care\, conservation and an understanding of ecosystem dynamics. \nFollowing an interactive indoor identification session around a specimen table we will then head to a private property to search for fungi. \nPlease note that no fungi will be collected during this event. \nPlease bring your lunch. We will provide tea/coffee etc and a bikkie when you get there. \nBookings: https://events.humanitix.com/copy-of-slow-mushrooming-identifying-edible-fungi-2024-sunday \n$45 for Landcare members; $55 non-Landcare members. \nMore information 0427 287 285 \nThe landcare member price applies to a member of any landcare group\, and you are welcome to join Wooragee landcare if you’re not a landcare member. \nNote the workshops on Saturday and Sunday are the same\, so just book for one of them. \nThis workshop is being presented by Wooragee Landcare. Financial support from Friends of Chiltern Mt Pilot National Park\, Chiltern Landcare and Wooragee Landcare has enabled us to subsidize the tickets.
