SUMMARY:Pruning pointers in an East Albury habitat garden
DESCRIPTION:Explore an all-native wildlife garden with optional pruning presentation by Chiara Cass. \nSix years ago\, this one-acre garden was overrun with paspalum. The owners have transformed it into a native meadow with sweeping views of distant hills. Grassy tussocks and shrubby mounds are framed by melaleuca and eucalypt copses lining the boundaries. \nChiara Cass will take visitors on a half-hour guided stroll of the garden\, sharing her expertise on pruning and maintaining a variety of native shrubs\, including grevilleas\, correas\, eremophilas\, callistemons\, wattles and saltbush. \nChoose from four time-slots for Chiara’s pruning presentations\, which will start at 9.00am\, 10.00am\, 11.00am\, and midday. \nTickets – $6 for pruning presentation and garden entry\, $4 for garden entry only. RSVP by Wednesday 2 October 2024: \nhttps://events.humanitix.com/pruning \nVisitors interested in exploring the garden at their own pace can arrive at any time within their selected slot and enjoy the garden as long as they wish. \nPlease be aware that the garden’s sloping terrain features narrow\, winding paths with uneven surfaces\, making it unsuitable for wheelie walkers and young children. \nThis event is hosted by Gardens 4 Wildlife Albury-Wodonga\, a Wodonga Urban Landcare Network program\, with generous support from AlburyCity.

SUMMARY:Platy-Project\, First Field Event 7 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 second event and the first of our field events for this year.  Our second field event is scheduled for 14 September\, 4 – 6 pm. \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: 7 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.
