20.01.2022 How helpful are handy nieces for helping plant trees Deb in Tonimbuk sent us these great shots of her niece helping her replant after the 2019 Bunyi...p fires: We are in Tonimbuk and replanting our wildlife corridors after the Bunyip fire in March 2019. We were fortunate to get a grant through Landcare to replant 500 plants. This is our niece Emily who is our expert helper! My husband is Peter and I have been revegetating our block and planting with Bunyip and Cannibal Creek Landcare since 2013. Landcare groups across the state are helping landholders pimp up their own patches of bush to help birds, animals and insects have a home. Kick-start your own project by getting in touch with your local Landcare group and seeing how they can help.

17.01.2022 This week's *Weedy Wednesday* feature weed is: BLACK NIGHTSHADE (SOLANUM NIGRUM) Black Nightshade (Solanum nigrum) is also known as: blackberry nightshade, blac...k fruited nightshade, black nightshade, garden nightshade. It is a widespread species found in all states and territories, particularly abundant in the southern parts of Australia. It is regarded as an environmental weed in Victoria, Western Australia, New South Wales, Queensland and the Northern Territory. It is not declared or considered noxious by any state government authorities. WHAT IT DOES Black Nightshade is a common weed of crops, pastures, orchards, vineyards, roadsides, gardens, disturbed sites and waste areas. It can be very competitive with native vegetation and at certain stages of growth, the plant may contain natural toxins which may cause poisoning in animals. WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE - A short-lived, bushy small shrub growing up to 1.25 m tall. It is usually upright but plants may become spreading with age. - Stems are rough in texture and its leaves are slightly hairy or hairless. - It has small star-shaped white flowers (often tinged with purple) borne in small clusters in the leaf forks. It flowers throughout the year. - The fruit are green when young, turning purplish-black when mature and contain numerous small seeds. HOW IT SPREADS Reproduces mainly by seed, which are most often spread by birds and other animals that eat the fruit. HOW TO REMOVE IT Removal by hand is sufficient to control this weed, best before or during flowering stage. Information from https://weeds.brisbane.qld.gov.au/wee/blackberry-nightshade

14.01.2022 Our collective power is unstoppable

12.01.2022 It would be nice to post images of some of our members out and about on the many activities we had planned for this autumn. With a little luck we may be able to... get back on track with our events come spring. In the meantime, here are a few shots of the Scarlet Robin that visited me yesterday. See more

11.01.2022 We're suckers for wombats, and baby wombats are THE best. Don't think you'd be bored if you were locked down with these two!

08.01.2022 Ferndale Certified Organics is an organic cattle and pig farm, located in Kongwak. They have planted over 80,000 trees since 2003 with the help of Landcare, WGC...MA, Greening Australia and a very active property owners, Lee and Stephen Storti. The Stortis planted a large percentage of the trees themselves, fencing out and revegetating the Damp Forest gullies that feed into and line Foster Creek. The plantings can now be seen branching out across the property from the hills above. See more

02.01.2022 Nodding Greenhoods are sexually deceptive orchids that trick insects into pollination. Dr Graeme Lorimer has prepared this excellent video for the Montrose Environmental Group to show you how the anatomy of the flower has evolved for this to happen.
