10.01.2022 Lots of great advice in this document. Free copies (excluding postage) can be obtained via the Australian National University website.

10.01.2022 It is with great sadness that we learnt of the passing of Ralph Smith on Friday the 28th August. Ralph and Judy were stalwarts of the Friends of Cardinia Creek, passionately working together to conserve the Beaconsfield Flora and Fauna Reserve and surrounds and educating the local community on the beauty of our natural environment. They also were also active members of the Cardinia Waters Wetland Group that carried out a project in 2019 to restore native vegetation to an em...bankment above the wetland at their retirement village in Pakenham. Ralph epitomised a life lived to its fullest, actively working within the reserve and bike riding, he was someone who was always happy and would always brighten up your day. Ralph will be sadly missed by many in our environmental community. Our sympathies to his wife Judy and their family.

08.01.2022 When it comes to working in natural resource management, physical first aid is second nature, but many of us don't feel confident to offer mental health assista...nce. To help upskill volunteers from Landcare and community environmental groups, the PPWCMA is hosting free mental health first aid training. Facilitated by Tamara from P.S. My Family Matters and Joel from Hearten Up, this online course will take you through the five significant mental health classifications and how to support people who may be experiencing them. It features a self-guided component and two online group sessions. There are four dates available, with up to 12 places in each. You must be able to attend both group sessions. Tuesday 20 & 27 October, 10am-1pm Thursday 22 & 29 October, 2pm 4.30pm Friday 30 October & 6 November, 10am-1pm Saturday 31 October & 7 November, 2pm 4.30pm This is open to volunteers and professionals working in natural resource management in the Port Phillip and Western Port region.

03.01.2022 With National Threatened Species Day celebrated on 7 September #ThreatenedSpeciesDay and Biodiversity Month celebrated during September, it’s time for everyone to start thinking about what you’d like to protect, conserve or improve in your backyard or community. Currently 70% of Australia’s sensitive landscape is inhabited by rabbits and they have been listed as the greatest threat to native species in Australia. Their large presence in numbers combined with a palate for Australian native plants reduces the ability for native vegetation to regenerate. Imagine what our landscapes could look like without rabbits? https://rabbitaction.com/2020/09/07/biodiversity-month/
