25.01.2022 Jaidan testing out his new water-driven laptop.

25.01.2022 Field work in SPRING The spring rainfall in southern Tasmania has resulted in a fantastic wildflower season. We love working with local councils to help manage the suburban bushland reserves that so many people enjoy visiting. Not only are many of the understorey shrubs flowering at the moment, but also the orchids and lilies that only appear for a short time each year. ... Small pockets of bushland in and around our cities are often surprising in the diversity and colour of plant life they support, and habitat for native animals too.

23.01.2022 It has been great to be involved in this collaborative threatened species recovery project and see things turn around for one of Australias most threatened Eucalypts - the southern Tasmanian endemic Eucalyptus morrisbyi. There has been a huge effort from all the team from Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service, Greening Australia, UTAS School of Plant Science, pakana Services, Understorey Network, Tasmanian Seed Conservation Centre at the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens (RTBG), Clarence City Council, Conservation Volunteer Australia (Tasmania), Threatened Plants Tasmania and DPIPWES Threatened Species Section.

22.01.2022 Enviro-dynamics provide natural resource management and environmental services across the state. We work across a broad range of topics from flora and fauna conservation to property planning and bushfire assessments. The business has two main arms NRM Services supporting community based NRM and Landcare as well as environmental impact assessments.

22.01.2022 Happy #NationalEucalyptusDay! Tasmania might not have as many eucalypt species as the mainland, but we do have 16 species that are found nowhere else. Tasmania is home to the mountain ash (Eucalyptus regnans), the tallest flowering plant in the world, and the smallest eucalypt species, the varnished gum (Eucalyptus vernicosa), that grows on western Tasmania’s mountain tops. Here at Enviro-Dynamics, we are passionate about eucalypt conservation. We have conservation programs ...for the Miena Cider Gum and Morrisby’s gum, both are which are struggling as our climate changes. Both species are suffering from drought stress, increased insect attack, herbivory and many mature Miena Cider Gums were killed by wildfire in 2018. Working with landowners and the community we are trying to relieve some of these pressures. #threatenedspecies #mienacidergum #morrisby #eucalyptus

22.01.2022 Help needed to save an iconic eucalypt species! Morrisby’s gum (Eucalyptus morrisbyi) is one of Australia’s most endangered eucalypts. We are working with plant scientists, eucalypt experts and land managers to conserve the species and we need your help. Morrisby’s gum is found at only two sites on Hobart’s eastern shore and is iconic in the Cremorne area. The biggest threats to this species are browsing by wildlife particularly possums and drought. In recent years, num...bers in the wild have dwindled from around 2000 trees to fewer than 50! We are working with landholders to plant seedlings in the tree’s known range as well as in areas predicted to be suitable as the climate changes. Seedlings have been grown from seed collected and stored at the Tasmanian Seed Conservation Centre at the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens (RTBG). We are looking for helpers to plant and nurture the seedlings as they become established within priority areas. The project will run for three years, but to be successful it will need participants to provide long-term support. If you would like to help protect Morrisby’s gum, please contact Magali on [email protected]. This project is delivered in partnership with NRM South and funded by the Australian Government's National Landcare Program. #Eucalyptus #threatenedspecies #conservation #morrisby

21.01.2022 Happy New Year! After a short break we are back in the field and the office and are looking forward to all of the projects that 2021 will bring. This will include further work focusing on the conservation of the Miena Cider Gums. This giant was a lucky survivor of the fires at Great Pine Tier.

20.01.2022 We prepared a feasibility study with Mtn.Trails for a new walking trail along the North West Bay River. You can now have your say and contribute to the discussion. https://oursay.org/kingborough-council/nwbr-trail

20.01.2022 Andy spent the weekend doing some "surveying".

19.01.2022 Careful survey work for a low-impact track through this lush wet forest.

17.01.2022 We have started a blog space on our website to share some longer reads about our projects, passions and concerns surrounding landscape management in Tasmania. In the spirit of #NationalEucalyptusDay our first piece explores the challenges facing the endangered Morrisby’s and Miena Cider Gums and some of the solutions we are implementing. Thanks to volunteers from the Understorey Network that recently helped us collect Morrisby's gum seed. ... #threatenedspecies #conservationvolunteers #mienacidergum #morrisby https://www.enviro-dynamics.com.au//blog-post-title-one-fb

16.01.2022 Moody skies while conducting fire assessments and collecting seed for the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens (RTBG) on The Needles and Tim Shea. The Needles south slopes escaped the 2018/2019 fires, seemingly protected by the rocky outcrops and wetter conditions.

16.01.2022 Lunchtime at offset planting for swift parrot habitat.

15.01.2022 We hope your first week of the year is going swell. We are back at it, in the field near Fingal, assessing fire severity, recovery and doing some seed collection for the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens (RTBG). The guitar plants are recovering well!

14.01.2022 Wedge-tailed eagle spotted by our eagle-eyed surveyors.

12.01.2022 Field work with a view! Though I'm not sure if ecologist Nick Fitzgerald noticed.... Here we are conducting vegetation surveys and fire severity assessments at Tim Shea in Tasmania's west. This area was burnt in the Gell River fire in the summer of 2018/2019.

11.01.2022 Happy National Eucalypt Day! Here is our Miena cider gum, running the sweet sap which coined its name. We have an active conservation program with Hydro Tasmani...a working to protect the species at Tods Corner. The major threats to this unique gum tree are inappropriate fire, over-browsing by wildlife, insect attack and a changing climate. See more

10.01.2022 Jaidan flying high on another mission.

10.01.2022 Our team has been busy assessing fire impacts and recovery this week - this time on Flinders Island! Grass trees are a prominent feature of the island. These plants are very slow growing and long lived and their ecology is strongly linked to fire. Not only do they survive being burnt, resprouting vigorously post fire, but fire also stimulates mass flowering that occurs on these very large spikes.

09.01.2022 Our shiny new promo video!

07.01.2022 "I am deeply concerned about climate change and ecosystem collapse. It’s real, it’s now and we need to act." In the spirit of International Woman’s Day, this week we are celebrating some of the amazing women in our team, their interests, motivations and concerns working in the conservation space. Here is Josie Kelman's story!... Growing up I spent most of my childhood wandering in the bush. My father, a proper bushy, passed on his knowledge of how land is used by both people and other animals. My mother also had a love of the bush and taught me the poetry and joy of natural areas. This childhood experience fostered in me a strong and personal connection to nature that drives my passion and inspiration to work towards positive conservation outcomes. My career has spread over more than 20 years, in that time I have worked as a botanist, vegetation management specialist, sustainable agriculture project officer, program coordinator and completed a PhD in Environmental Management. My key areas of interest are in ensuring effective project design and delivery with a focus on landscape management and conservation planning. I feel a strong imperative to work towards better conservation outcomes across the landscape. I often feel frustrated by poor delivery and squandering of resources on poorly conceived projects which lack context and prioritisation. I aim to ensure, that however and wherever possible, Enviro-Dynamics works to influence positive landscape change. The thing that replenishes my motivation in this often challenging space is the amazing people I work with both within our own team but also more broadly in our field. #womeninconservation #womeninleadership #womeninscience #internationalwomensday
