25.01.2022 Its national Frog Week Did you know the traditional name for Balcombe Estuary Tji'tjin'garook means "voice of frogs"? This national frog week you can help check on the health of frogs in your backyard or favourite reserves by downloading (unless you already have it) and using the FrogID app to record frog calls.... These recordings are used to monitor frog distributions over time, helping scientists to understand how frogs and their ecosystems are responding to a changing planet. https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=aBoHdAhJm0I# #frogweek #citizenscience #frogIDapp #bergmtmartha #caringforourenvironment

23.01.2022 Looking for something fun to do with the kids? It's Australian pollinator week, and to celebrate they've posted a waggle dance challenge. The dance mimics the extraordinary way honey bees communicate and celebrates bees’ crucial role in pollination and food security.... The Global Online Waggle Dance has been designed to allow people to unite from anywhere in the world from the safety of their own home so that they can become part of this global celebration. So get your waggle on, and stay tuned for more pollinator activities and info #bergmtmartha #caringforourenvironment #caringforourcommunity #pollinatorweek

18.01.2022 Help! We're looking to effectively mobilise our volunteer teams now on-ground events have recommenced. To do this, we're looking for a couple of Brushcutters/Whipper Snippers - for fine trimming to heavy-duty work in rough terrain. If you have one that is stored away, no longer required, unloved and lonely, looking for someone to get its blades back into action. Maybe you'd consider letting us put it to use again. We'd love to look after it for you. We're great at repurposing equipment. Message us or email: [email protected]

17.01.2022 Ambassadog Pepper here... I'm asking all the puppy and doggo pawrents to pretty please do the right thing and follow the signs at the beach and estuary reserves. Please keep your doggo on a leash unless you're in a signed off leash area, and for dogs sake pick up your pooches poo and bin it ... See what my pawrent nearly slipped on! It was still steaming #responsibleowners #pickuppoo #onleash #bergmtmartha #caringforourenvironment #caringforourcommunity #mtmartha #balcombecreek #balcombeestuary #southbeachmtmartha #northbeachmtmartha

15.01.2022 We feel privileged to have protected enough habitat in Mt Martha for native animals like snakes to still be here Snakes only attack when they feel threatened, and dogs with their inquisitive noses and quick movements can easily scare snakes... so please keep your dogs on a lead! Please remember, snakes share our paths, if you see one, stop and calmly move away, it's likely just as scared of you as you are of it.... #bergmtmartha #caringforourenvironment #caringforourcommunity https://www.facebook.com/groups/203647056806681/permalink/1095506194287425/

07.01.2022 Have you heard about the container deposit scheme being taken over by big beverages Coca Cola Amitil and Lion? We fought to get this refund scheme happening, but not by the biggest plastic producers, and not for their profit. Will you help us fight for change?... https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=3784759061568119&id=119661504744578

02.01.2022 Reposted from @birdlifeoz Counting Rainbows: the Aussie Backyard Bird Count results are IN! With 2020 being full of bad news droughts, bushfires, COVID many of us have been looking for a rainbow. And together, that’s exactly what we found! Unprecedented numbers of you across Australia took part this year, and overwhelmingly, you found Rainbow Lorikeets more than half a million of them! ... A huge thank you to everyone who submitted a survey during the 2020 Aussie Backyard Bird Count together we counted more than 4.6 million birds in 7 days! Overall, the top ten species recorded in Australia in 2020 was largely the same as last year, with Noisy Miners, Magpies, Sulphur-crested Cockatoos and Galahs rounding out the top 5. The Australian White Ibis (the polarising bird also known as the Bin Chicken) finished in tenth spot. While participation rates rose substantially in every state, the number of counters in Victoria, which had the longest and strictest lockdown measures, more than doubled testament to the solace that our backyard birds can provide during tough times. Across Australia, wherever you counted this year, thank you for being such an important part of the Aussie Backyard Bird Count! By taking part in the Aussie Backyard Bird Count, you have contributed to BirdLife Australia's understanding of how our local bird populations are faring. Thank you! #bergmtmartha #citizenscience #caringforourcommunity #backyardbirdcount
