24.01.2022 How does Lilydale's Lion compare to these?

23.01.2022 The tallest tree in Wales had been damaged by a storm and was supposed to be cut down, but a better solution was found. Natural Resource Wales, which was in cha...rge of the site, ordered artist Simon O'Rourke to cut down the tree. He thought of a giant hand, which symbolizes the giants, and the tree's last attempt to reach the sky. O'Rourke needed to add two pieces for the thumb and pinky as the tree wasn't large enough to form all the entire hand. Once completed, the sculpture was coated with tung oil, a natural vegetable oil safe for the closeness of the riverways. It's height: 50 feet (15 metres) See more

23.01.2022 Some good news for Friday!

20.01.2022 What do you know about Tassie's native bees? Native bee species are integral for providing pollination services to native Tasmanian plants, as well as food p...roduction. Senior Geography lecturer at UTAS Dr McQuillan says native bees are messy pollinators - but it's a good thing. Native bees are more effective at spreading pollen because of their messy feeding style. They become covered in pollen after visiting a flower unlike the introduced species, which carry it neatly on their back legs, There are many threats to Tassie's native bees, including habitat loss, feral bee species, pesticide use and more. Landowners can help by putting in plants which attract native bee species, such as banksia and prickly box.
