We look forward to reading the research... Thanks to UNE Business School Lecturer Professor Gabriel Donleavy for the spotting and video! Have a great week ahead everyone!

20.01.2022 Well done to our members, friends, partners and supporters for coordinating, participating in and supporting some excellent Landcare during the 2019-2020 financial year - despite a few challenges!

19.01.2022 Do you have 'Eagle Eyes'? NTLLS and UNE researchers need your help!

18.01.2022 What can you plant to help a honeyeater? The Regent Honeyeater is a critically endangered bird endemic to southeastern Australia. They have been recorded foragi...ng in gardens, so what you plant can make a difference to this important species. Near the house, you can encourage them by establishing plants like banksias and bottlebrushes. This will also benefit other nectar-feeding birds such as lorikeets and smaller honeyeaters. Away from the house, consider planting species like Mugga Ironbark, Yellow Gum, Spotted Gum or Silky Oak if they’re suitable to your area. Species like the Hairpin Banksia can help to fill the autumn flowering gap, when there are fewer native plants flowering. And remember, even honeyeaters also need to eat insects and need to find shelter and suitable nest sites, so make sure you include local plants which are good insect attractors, provide shelter from predators and offer potential nesting opportunities.

11.01.2022 ATTENTION CITIZEN SCIENTISTS; Your landscape needs YOU! Do you fancy yourself as a bit of an amateur sleuth? Join Western Sydney University & University of Ne...w England, AU researchers, Belinda Medlyn & Rachael Nolan, as they discuss their project: The Dead Tree Detective - an online database for citizen scientists & amateur sleuths (like you!) to fight the effects of dieback by recording sightings of dead or dying trees. This incredible online resource is tracking the health of trees across Australia & has become paramount in determining patterns of dieback in particular regions & its cause - drought, bushfire or something a little more curious. The ladies will be talking about what The Dead Tree Detective is, why it started & how YOU can play a very important role in solving tree dieback in Australia. Focus Event: The Dead Tree Detective - Wednesday 15th July, 1:00pm-2:00pm. Visit www.glenrac.org.au/events to register for this FREE event! Can't attend this webinar at the time it's on? No problems! A recording of the event will be sent to all registered attendees.
