SUMMARY:Rooted in Resilience: restoration goals and seed supply forum
DESCRIPTION:Implementation of our restoration and climate resilience recommendations ( the  70% local provenance: 30% climate analogue sourcing of seed or plants) has slipped since a focus on provenance in the mid 2000’s and is increasingly constrained by seed supply. We also have recognized that we have a lot of revegetation that doesn’t achieve “whole ecosystem” restoration\, especially in grassy ecosystems. As larger scale carbon and biodiversity plantings are implemented as part of market-driven activity\, how can we improve the outcomes. How do we address threatened species? How do we address this issue with seed supply? \nThis forum is for practitioners\, researchers\, policymakers and all community interested in the future of seed collection and supply in our region – the Murray and Riverina NSW.

SUMMARY:Border Bushwalking Club - Spring into Tuesday
DESCRIPTION:These walks can’t be called Winter walks anymore but this one is a good way to build some more fitness ready for the mountains. \nThis walk will begin in late morning and go over lunch time. We will explore more of Nail Can Hill including Bakes Trail\, The Lookout (where we will have lunch) and Reedy Dam.  I was going to call it a figure 8 walk but it’s more like a double sided lollipop with us passing by our cars around the half way point. It may be tempting to stop at this point but the best bits are yet to come. \nIt’s all on well formed trails with some short  steep pinches and lots of undulations. \nlength 7.7km height gain 350m \n\nGrade 3 Medium\nLeader: Bernadette\nPhone: 0419241687\nParticipant numbers:12\nFinal booking date: Sun Sep 1st\nFor more information and updates about BBC activities\, check www.borderbushwalkingclub.com.au

SUMMARY:Banking on Trees Community Planting Morning
DESCRIPTION:Join the team from WAW and Parklands Albury Wodonga in our Banking on Trees planting day on Sunday 4 August\, 9am-11am. \nWhat to bring: Closed shoes and long pants as the ground is uneven and might be muddy.\n \nWhat will be provided:\n• All tools\, equipment\, materials\, and gloves (unless you want to bring your own gloves).\n• BBQ lunch will include sausages\, bread\, and sauce. Those with special dietary requirements\, please BYO. \nWhere: Paddock off Carrolls Lane\, Wodonga. Go past the Wodonga Railway Station for approximately 980 m following the signs and park in the paddock. See map on event website. \nAbout this event: Did you know that every time an account is opened at BankWAW\, they plant a tree? \nTrees create endless amounts of good. They clean the air we breathe\, filter the water we drink\, and provide habitat to over 80% of the world’s terrestrial biodiversity. \nPlanting a tree is also one of the easiest and cheapest ways to take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere to tackle the climate crisis. It’s also the easiest way that we\, as individuals\, can reduce our own footprint. \nBankWAW’s Banking on Trees program is revegetating the bushland of our local communities\, contributing to a better climate\, supporting biodiversity\, and creating better living conditions for our local communities.

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.
