SUMMARY:Protecting our bushland
DESCRIPTION:This year UBC’s theme is protecting our bushland from threats whether they are weeds\, feral animals\, fire\, or incursions from developers.  Accordingly we have asked Judy Fisher to talk about the ways that Member Groups can protect and enhance biodiversity through on ground work. How the latest approach to saving worldwide biodiversity can save Perth bushland. \nThe latest approach\nJudy will share with you the most up to date knowledge and approaches on protecting and conserving biodiversity to assist protecting your local places.  This expert knowledge is directing thinking and positive decision making around the globe.  As well as the latest IPBES knowledge on biodiversity we will discuss how the IUCN CEM Ecosystems and Invasive Species approach to developing management plans\, through establishing baseline biodiversity data knowledge bases\, brings understandings of the ecological and economic effectiveness of restoration over time. \nThis knowledge is increasing investment in restoration in urban reserves. Learn about case studies from 30 urban reserves. This work can aid UBC Member Groups to continue to conserve and protect urban bushland. \nDr Judy Fisher\nJudy is the Director and Principal Socio-ecologist of Fisher Research Pty Ltd\, and consults with organisations in Australia\, Asia and Europe. She is Adjunct Associate Professor with the UWA Institute of Agriculture. She has also been elected to the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES)\, Multidisciplinary Expert Panel composed of 5 representatives from each United Nations Region. IPBES is hugely influential globally and setting direction for the protection and conservation of the planet’s biodiversity and is the sister organisation to the IPCC. \nJudy was a member of the Scientific Steering Committee for the recently released (November 2020) IPBES Report on Biodiversity and Pandemics. She has been a Co-ordinating Lead Author for the IPBES Global Assessment on Land Degradation and Restoration Assessment and a Lead Author for the IPBES Assessment on Biodiversity & Ecosystem Services in Asia and the Pacific\, with a particular interest in Values and Culture. Additionally\, Judy is a member of the IPBES Indigenous and Local Knowledge Task Force. She works with Indigenous peoples in Australia and across the globe. Furthermore\, Judy holds a leadership role with the IUCN Commission on Ecosystem Management as Theme leader of the Ecosystems and Invasive Species Thematic Group. \nJoin Us\nJoin us from 6 pm for refreshments; talk will start at 6:30 pm. \nIf you can’t make it to West Perth and would like to join us on Zoom\, email UBC at ubc@bushlandperth.org.au so that we can send you the link. \n

SUMMARY:UBC Annual General Meeting 2021
DESCRIPTION:All places are now fully booked. Add your name to the WAIT list or request a Zoom link to the meeting by emailing ubc@bushlandperth.org.au \nCome along to UBC’s Annual General Meeting on Tuesday 2nd March 2021. The doors will open at 6:00 pm when light refreshments will be served. The AGM will start at 6:30 pm.  Elections will be held for all Committee positions for 2021. Nomination forms are available here. Contact us at ubc@bushlandperth.org.au if you would like further information or assistance. \nFormal business is expected to conclude around 7 pm and we will hand over to our guest speaker. \nWe are honoured to have Emeritus Professor Philip Jennings talk about \nWhat is happening to our environment?\nWe are fortunate to live in a region of mega-biodiversity. It is one of only 35 biodiversity hotspots on our planet. For more than 50\,000 years the Noongar nation successfully managed this precious ecosystem through major changes in the Earth’s climate. \nHowever\, since the arrival of the new settlers\, nearly 200 years ago\, irreversible damage has been done to our environment\, due primarily to inappropriate planning and land use practices. The results of this mismanagement are now apparent in the form of salinization\, weeds\, feral animals\, bush fires and plant diseases. \nIn recent years\, some attempts have been made to address these problems and this talk will discuss the successes and failures of our response. \nEvent information\nSo come along to our Annual General Meeting on Tuesday 2nd March.   \nCovid-19 Information:  Please RSVP so that we know how many  people will be coming along. We will run a Wait list if all our places are booked out. You will need to complete the contact tracing requirements when you arrive. This can be via use the Safe WA app or filling in a hard copy form. \nIf you can’t make it to West Perth\, you can also join us online via Zoom. Please email ubc@bushlandperth.org.au to request the Zoom link. You can join from 6:30 pm for the AGM or from 7 pm for Professor Jennings’ talk.

SUMMARY:Soil microbes and bushland health
DESCRIPTION:Come to our next talk on Thursday 19th November\, from 6pm. You will be able to hear Dr Anna Hopkins talk about soil microbes and bushland health. \nAnna’s talk follows on from David Knowles presentation last month about the devastating effect of fires on insects. Continuing our series\, we have asked Anna to talk about threats to soil health; the effect weeds have on soil microbe biodiversity and of fire on soil health. \nSoil microbes play an essential role in bushland restoration success. Soils are a complex and highly varied ecosystem and contain an enormous amount of our global biodiversity. This presentation will discuss soils as a habitat\, outline the range of organisms present in the soil and illustrate how our knowledge of soil biology can be used to make restoration efforts more resilient and sustainable. \nDr Anna Hopkins is a Senior Lecturer in fungal ecology and environmental science in the School of Science at Edith Cowan University. Read more about Anna’s world class research here. \nJoin us from 6 pm for refreshments; talk will start at 6:30 pm. \nIf you can’t make it to West Perth and would like to join us on Zoom\, email UBC at ubc@bushlandperth.org.au so that we can send you the link. \nPhoto Chinta Andreassen

SUMMARY:Putting insects to work in your bushland
DESCRIPTION:Have you seen these in your bushland?\nInsects and other macrofauna will help you with your bush regeneration work because they are composters\, pollinators\, predators! \nWorld insect populations are in decline for all sorts of anthropogenic reasons. So\, it is time for the few eco-literate members of our society to again stand up to eco-illiterate governments and their bureaucracies in their war of ignorance against the major proportion of our terrestrial macrofauna – the insects! \nCome listen to David Knowles\nDavid Knowles has extensive hands on knowledge of and passion for our macrofauna. He can therefore provide insights into how to encourage a biodiversity of helper bugs in your bushland. Then this knowledge will empower you to speak up when governments and residents insist on doing the opposite! Fire\, lights and weeds have a devastating effect on our small helpers. \nSome in the northern suburbs may have noticed the extensive burning occurring in the Moore River drainage.  And why is this a problem for insects? A significant proportion of insect biodiversity is mature and seeking mates in springtime. DFES could not have targeted a better time to kill as many of our pollinators and leaf litter recyclers as possible! David suspects that over the spring burning season multi millions\, if not trillions\, of breeding animals die as a result. \nHow do we change this extinction culture? \nCome along to a very interesting talk! Please scroll down to reserve your free ticket. \nJoin us for refreshments at 6:00 pm with the talk starting at 6:30 pm. \nFor those who can’t make it into City West\, we will be able to make this talk available online.

SUMMARY:Walk in Landsdale Conservation Park: after the prescribed burn
DESCRIPTION:Join David Pike’s curated walk at 8 am on Saturday 5th September through the Landsdale Conservation Park. This remnant bushland lies in suburban Darch and its biodiversity and rarity is a reminder that we need to protect it. \nDavid has been walking through and observing Landsdale bushland for 20 years. This site was prescribe burnt in 2019\, and David will talk about the fire history and its effect. But can we afford to jeopardise its biodiversity by burning the site and what about the effect of fire access tracks? \nAlso\, what animals were lost after the fire? Should they be brought back? How has the vegetation changed post fires? And what are the biggest threats to this bushland today? Who makes the decision for a prescribed burn? What records are kept of any fires in our suburban bushland? Are they reviewed? \nAlso get David’s thoughts on arson control at this bushland. \nRemember that there are over 200 bushcare groups in Perth who work tirelessly to conserving biodiversity. We have the best research scientists who are gathering the evidence for bushland management. Let’s get this right\, listen to the science\, listen to the volunteers who observe the bushland\, year after year! \nPark on the verge outside Landsdale Conservation Park\, on Landsdale Road\, 100m east of Evandale Rd \nBring some morning tea and share your ideas with others afterward! Or you might take the opportunity to visit the plant nursery of the Northern Suburbs branch of the Wildflower Society! \nPhotos: (Top) Part of the burnt bushland; (middle) Part of the unburnt bushland and (bottom)  the remaining evidence of the clearing scars cut through the bush to divide it into thirds. The third at either end was burnt.

SUMMARY:Burning our bushland - talk by Kingsley Dixon
DESCRIPTION:Why indiscriminate burning will permanently alter our bushlands and why we need to rethink how we use fire in our landscapes. \nOur biodiversity is going up in smoke\, harming our health\, the plants and animals that make Perth and the South-west of Western Australia a world biodiversity hot spot. After making headway in the 1990’s with collaboration of DFES\, DBCA\, bushcare groups\, community and local governments we have returned to hierarchical decisions. Our scientists are showing us the compelling evidence!  \nCome along and meet our special guest Professor Kingsley Dixon from Curtin University and previously Foundation Director of Science at Kings Park and Botanic Garden.  \nYou can listen to Kingsley’s recent Science Show episode “Controlled burns destroy ecosystems and may not reduce fire risk” where he says “whereas some forests may experience a natural fire every 80 years\, there is no chance for the ecosystem to re-establish when that frequency becomes a prescribed burn every five years. “ \nCome along to a very interesting talk! \nJoin us for refreshments at 6:00 pm with the talk starting at 6:30 pm.

SUMMARY:Farewell to Ocean Reef Bushland Walk B
DESCRIPTION:New date Saturday 11 July  \nYou are invited to a UBC sponsored GUIDED WALK to say Farewell to Ocean Reef Bushland (ex- Bush Forever 325). This will be led by members of the Joondalup Community Coast Care Forum. \nIn late 2019 the WAPC excised 26 ha of bushland from Bush Forever 325. DWER has recently issued two Clearing Permits as a prelude to the clearing of up to 42 ha for the Ocean Reef Marina development. While August-October is the best time to walk through the area\, it may not be possible to do this once clearing starts. Therefore we will take the opportunity now to walk through the bush now. We will look at some of the locally rare plants and ancient stands of Quandong and Native grape\, an orchard for traditional owners when they lived on the coast. \n   \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nCome and see\nYanchep Rose (Diplolanea angustifolia) – southernmost recorded occurrence\,\nCoastal Hop Bush (Dodonaea aptera) – only record in Joondalup\,\nNative Grape (Nitraria billardierei)\,\nGrevillea sp. Ocean Reef – G.vestita x G. crithmifolia hybrid (P1 species)\,                                   – \nHibbertia leptotheca  (P3 species) and lots of\nCoast Beard-heath (Styphelia insularis (prev. Leucopogon insularis)) in flower making a colourful contrast beside Cockies’ Tongue (Templetonia retusa). \nAlso observe the local birds including Osprey and other raptors\, Pacific Gulls\, White Winged Fairy Wrens.\nThen finish with a walk along the cliffs (which will also be destroyed for housing) taking in wonderful views while searching for samphires\, salt bush and the Native grape. \nSemi-strenuous. Stout clothing and footwear required. Toilets on site. Picnic Area available for afterwards. \nPark in the northern end of easternmost row of the boat trailer parking area at the Ocean Reef Boat Harbour along Boat Harbour Quays\, off Ocean Reef Rd. Look for UBC Sign.  No dogs thank you. \nPrint out and bring along this map \n   \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nAs the number of participants is limited to 10 per session it is essential you book your ticket now. There is a second walk – accessible from our Events page.

We will look at some of the locally rare plants and ancient stands of Quandong and Native grape\, an orchard for traditional owners when they lived on the coast. \n   \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nCome and see\nYanchep Rose (Diplolanea angustifolia) – southernmost recorded occurrence\,\nCoastal Hop Bush (Dodonaea aptera) – only record in Joondalup\,\nNative Grape (Nitraria billardierei)\,\nGrevillea sp. Ocean Reef – G.vestita x G. crithmifolia hybrid (P1 species)\,                                   – \nHibbertia leptotheca  (P3 species) and lots of\nCoast Beard-heath (Styphelia insularis (prev. Leucopogon insularis)) in flower making a colourful contrast beside Cockies’ Tongue (Templetonia retusa). \nAlso observe the local birds including Osprey and other raptors\, Pacific Gulls\, White Winged Fairy Wrens.\nThen finish with a walk along the cliffs (which will also be destroyed for housing) taking in wonderful views while searching for samphires\, salt bush and the Native grape. \nSemi-strenuous. Stout clothing and footwear required. Toilets on site. Picnic Area available for afterwards. \nPark in the northern end of easternmost row of the boat trailer parking area at the Ocean Reef Boat Harbour along Boat Harbour Quays\, off Ocean Reef Rd. Look for UBC Sign.  No dogs thank you. \nPrint out and bring along this map \n   \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nAs the number of participants is limited to 10 per session it is essential you book your ticket now. There is a second walk – accessible from our Events page.

SUMMARY:Help Protect our Urban Bushland Quendas
DESCRIPTION:Help Protect our Urban Bushland Quendas and other wildlife! \nCan we do more to save wildlife in our suburban bushland? Can we reduce the risks from fire\, feral animals and urbanisation? \nAlthough much has been lost from our urban remnant patches\, there is still much to protect. We also know how Quendas can improve bushland soil health and improve the condition of remnant bushland. Although listed as a priority species\, Quendas are doing well in some bushland areas. You can read again our recent article about Quendas in Star Swamp \nGuest speaker – Geoff Barrett\nGeoff Barrett is a Regional Ecologist for DBCA working on suburban wildlife since 2008 in Perth. He is involved in strategic planning for biodiversity\, habitat restoration and biodiversity monitoring. Citizen science projects include black cockatoo surveys (BirdLife WA – Great Cocky Count)\, quenda (bandicoot) and rakali (water rat) community surveys (World Wide Fund) and the western ringtail possum (GeoCatch and Wirambi Landcare). \nSo\, come and listen to a status report on Quendas in urban areas and find out what you might be able to do in your own bushland. \n\n \nTicketing\nPlease let us know you are coming by obtaining a ticket. This will help us manage our responsibilities to you around COVID-19 safety. \nPhotos: Top – Quenda by Bryony Fremlin; Above – A cat with a phascogale taken by Marika Maxwell\, DBCA Manjimup and Right – a bandicoot taken by Simon Cherryman.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED: Walk through the Ocean Reef coastal bushland area making way for the great Ocean Reef Marina
DESCRIPTION:We regret that we need to postpone this walk given the COVID-19 crisis. However we will keep this event listed on our website to let you all know that the reconnaissance for the walk uncovered even more species in the  species rich 30 ha coastal area to be cleared and that UBC will continue to advocate that government reconsider the 1000+ residential and deep water marina development. \nBushland lost! If not already cleared\, this might be your last chance to see what will go at Ocean Reef. Clearing Permit approval is pending. \nLearn what the community bushland representative group\, Joondalup Community Coast Care Forum (JCCCF)\, have had to do to get the best outcome possible for the birds\, quendas\, graceful sun moth\, reptiles and much more. \nThe Bush Forever site here took a considerable loss last year with MRS rezoning. So the ecological linkage will be greatly diminished. At two points the narrow linkage for resident animals such as quendas\, bobtails\, lizards\, graceful sun moths will be treacherous as they attempt to cross roads. \nFurthermore\, the natural setting for those using the dual path for recreation and connection to nature will be spoilt as they pass by 1000 residences and hot carparks. \nThe building of the Ocean Reef Marina will create jobs and provide a bigger boating area to what already exists. \nHowever many more people will be affected by the loss of this irreplaceable coastal natural area that Aussies so much enjoy. We always prided ourselves on leaving the foreshore for all people.

SUMMARY:UBC Annual General Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Come along to UBC’s Annual General Meeting and hear Greg Keighery talk about the ‘blooming biodiversity‘ of Western Australia.  Greg Keighery\, is a renowned botanist who has been largely responsible for regional scale surveys to establish conservation networks. He was recently awarded an Order of Australia Medal in the General Division for service to conservation and the environment. \nWhat is World Class about Western Australia? Blooming Biodiversity\, why is it ignored?\nWe know that WA is a State bigger than most countries\, containing some of the world’s oldest rocks\, fossils and life forms\, one of the world’s oldest cultures and largest wilderness area. This very old land surface has led to the relatively recent burst of speciation in our flowering plants in southern Western Australia (Southwest). This is what is truly world class about WA\, recognised internationally as being one of the original 25 biodiversity hotspots of the planet and the only one in Australia. \nWhy is this so? \n \nThere over 8\,000 flowering plants in the Southwest\, over 80% of these species are found nowhere else. Within these ranks are many other superlatives\, over 800 species pollinated by birds\, highest in the world. Giving us such large brilliant coloured flowers as the state flower the Kangaroo Paw. Other amazing features of the Southwest wildflowers include: the greatest number of sexually deceptive orchids in the world; very large numbers of ground orchids especially the Spider Orchids; diverse systems of root types; the most species of\, and the largest plants\, in the world of the carnivorous plant genus Drosera; and the world’s largest parasitic plant\, Nuytsia floribunda. \nUnfortunately this amazing biodiversity is also listed because it is under threat. \nHowever\, unlike the Great Barrier Reef there is no Federal Body that operates to assist in conserving this international asset. Why is this so? Why isn’t the south-west listed by Australia as a World Heritage Site\, like Kakadu\, and many other areas in eastern Australia? Why are there NO staff from the federal environment department in WA \, considering that we have  8 of the 15 national biodiversity hotspots in WA.  Why is so much money spent on the Murray-Darling or Tasmania compared to the flora of the WA Wheatbelt\, recognised nationally as under great threat? \nI feel that an “oriental” perspective of all aspects of our country by both politicians and the media\, is giving poor leadership\, a previous and continuing fixation on forests combined with the time required to understand and hence appreciate the amazing complexity and beauty of our flora and finally a lack of connection to the Western Australian landscape by Western Australians are the major drivers.

SUMMARY:The fire ecology of Banksia woodlands
DESCRIPTION:Russell Miller is a PhD candidate\, Murdoch University\, Kings Park Science and will discuss his research on the fire ecology of Banksia woodlands. \nBanksia woodlands have a long association with fire. Over tens of thousands of years\, our local plant species have developed strategies not only to tolerate but sometimes benefit from recurrent fire. A fundamental concept in fire ecology is that plants are adapted to certain fire regimes (i.e.\, frequency\, seasonality\, and intensity) but if populations experience fire outside of this\, they are likely to decline. \nFor his PhD research\, he investigated how native plant populations change with time since fire and under varying fire seasonality to identify species’ tolerance of varying fire regimes. \nField surveys revealed post-fire juvenile periods of 1 – 5 years\, indicating that populations recover reproductive maturity quickly after fire and even some obligate seeding species may have the capacity to cope with relatively short fire intervals. Surveys also showed that seedling recruitment occurs during the inter-fire period\, a phenomenon uncommon in fire-prone ecosystems but not unexpected given our knowledge that canopy seed bank species are weakly serotinous in Banksia woodlands.  \nInter-fire recruitment may help buffer populations from decline with the long absence of fire. Russell also conducted a field trial emulating the effects of season of fire and showed that unseasonal fire can substantially reduce seedling recruitment. Poor recruitment from emulated unseasonal fire was the result of low seedling emergence\, shortened seedling establishment times\, and reduced seed persistence. \nOverall\, his research extends our understanding of the unique fire ecology of Banksia woodlands and reveals the potential consequences of altered fire regimes. \n

SUMMARY:Successful Environmental Campaigns
DESCRIPTION:Join members for a panel discussion focused around  securing success in environmental campaigns. We will also be considering UBC membership fees. \nNotice of General Meeting to discuss Special Resolutions to increase UBC Fees \nFor some time now\, the Committee has been discussing the long-term financial viability of UBC.  For those who have attended recent AGMs you will remember that the financial reports over the past few years have shown a Net Loss. Operating expenditure has exceeded income. Hence UBC has been eating into its reserves to meet its modest operating costs. \nDuring 2018 the UBC Committee closely reviewed all its expenditure to find ways of reducing costs.  Doing this has resulted in a net reduction in costs of about $1\,000 or 10% of our running costs. At the same time  we have experienced additional operating costs\, including being charged for the hire of the Conference Room at City West. However\, donations have allowed us to close the gap between income and expenditure.  In 2019\, our donations have increased to around 58% of total income from 46% in 2018.  This is very welcome. But it is risky to base our financial future on very generous donations by a few individuals. \nAfter much discussion\, the Committee has recommended that the Membership Fees be increased by $15 effective from 1 January 2020. As per our Rules (15 (1))\, any membership increase must be discussed and approved by a General Meeting of voting members (Member Groups) of UBC. \nPanel Discussion: Securing Success in Environmental Campaigns\nAfter the formalities of the meeting\, stay for the panel discussion\, and hear some local stories. We know that conserving our urban bushland for our grandchildren requires perseverance and resilience.  It is hard work. \n\nHow can we learn from the successes of others?\nHow can we increase community awareness of environmental issues?\nHow do we sustain our advocacy and activism?\nHow can we help each other?

SUMMARY:Baigup Wetlands on the Swan River Maylands - Guided Walk
DESCRIPTION:This site visit is a chance to meet people from other community environment groups around the metro area while exploring a beautiful Bush Forever site on the Swan River that deserves to be better known. Baigup Wetlands is a 16.4 ha reserve that attracts many different kinds of birds all year round. \nPlaces are limited – please book. Details at the bottom of the page. \n \nTwo freshwater lakes are home to our South-western Snake-necked (aka ‘oblong’) Turtles which breed in the surrounding vegetation (Geoff McDonald image). \nSixteen species of waterbirds use the lakes for breeding. There is just a chance you may see gorgeous Australian Shelduck ducklings with their unbelievably protective parents or Buff-banded Rail chicks looking like fluffy black pompoms on their long spindly legs. These are two species that have been observed with young in September in previous years. \nChallenges at Baigup include Acid Sulphate scalds\, damage to the riverbank by speeding boats\, fox and cat predation of wildlife\, death of native vegetation due to salinity in places\, and a daunting history of massive weed infestation. Strenuous efforts by Baigup Wetland Interest Group and the reserve managers (City of Bayswater and Department of Planning\, Lands and Heritage) have got weeds under control in recent years but Pampas Grass\, Blackberry\, Arum Lily\, Morning Glory and Dolichos Vine (that smother and kill native trees)\, plus pretty well every annual weed\, especially Blackberry Nightshade\, you can think of\, still demand constant vigilance. \nBut for every challenge there are also victories. Extensive planting and water management along with ongoing weed control is providing habitat for an increasing number of birds\, animals and reptiles. Perhaps Quenda will be reintroduced eventually? That is one of the goals of Baigup Wetland Interest Group and the City of Bayswater. \nHow to get there:\nMeet in Hinds Reserve car park next to the Paddlesports (aka Rowing Club) facilities at the end of Milne Street Bayswater. Members of Baigup Wetland Interest Group will meet you there and take you into Baigup Wetlands itself. Wear sun protection and sturdy footwear and bring insect repellent or wear long sleeves and pants in case mosquitoes are around.

SUMMARY:War on Weeds
DESCRIPTION:Find out how Wireless Hill Reserve ‘war on weeds‘ strategies can help you! \nCome hear Margaret Matthews tell the story of  the war on weeds at Wireless Hill. \nThis treasure of Banksia Woodland has survived in suburbia but like most bushland in developed urban areas has suffered from an infestation of many types of weeds. \n \nLocals saw plants worth saving\, banded together with the land manager and now this park has regenerated to surprise and delight its carers. \nSo what did the Friends of Wireless Hill want to save? \nWhat were their worst weeds? \nWhy weeding wasn’t working and how they got smart by winning grants for hand weeding which are still available today. \nHand weeding 5.4 hectares is not easy but worth it to see how it has facilitated the recovery of a diversity of plants. \nPerennial Veldt Grass can look dead at the end of summer but beware – it springs to life with winter rains! \nIntroducing our speaker\nMargaret Matthews has been a member of the Friends of Wireless Hill since 2003.  She was the Convenor for about five years and is currently the Secretary and Treasurer as well as the grant manager.  She is also the Treasurer of the Friends of Underwood Avenue Bushland. \nMargaret currently spends most of her time helping organise the national Wildflower Conference being hosted by the Wildflower Society in Albany from 29 September 2019. At that time she will take on the role of President of the Australian National Plants Society. \nHear how a strategic approach has paid off in enhanced bushland health and diversity at Wireless Hill. \nJoin us on Wednesday 10th July from 6 pm for 6.30 pm start. $5 donation for lucky door prize.

SUMMARY:Native Bees and our Bushland
DESCRIPTION:Join Dr Terry Houston for an entertaining talk about native bees in our bushland. Dr Houston is Research Associate\, Dept. of Terrestrial Zoology (Entomology) Western Australian Museum\, 49 Kew St\, Welshpool. \nInhabiting the Perth Region is a substantial native bee fauna – around 80 species – which is highly dependent on the native flora. New bee species have been coming to light year after year and many await naming and description. The natural history of relatively few bee species has been studied in any detail\, but some fascinating behaviours are found among those that have. An example is the ‘megamouth bee’ (pictured above) that was discovered in Forrestdale several years ago. \nThe rapid destruction of bushlands in the region means that some species are becoming scarce and\, without adequate conservation of the diverse vegetation systems of the region\, some are at risk of going extinct. One specimen of a species already presumed to be extinct\, Douglas’s Broad-headed Bee Hesperocolletes douglasi (pictured below)\, was collected in Banksia woodland on Perth’s northern outskirts in 2015 by Juliana Pille Arnold\, a PhD student at the University of WA and recently made headlines in the local news. This rediscovery and other finds of special interest will be detailed in this presentation to illustrate some of the joys and frustrations of trying to document the biology of native bees. \nDr Houston is also the author of A Guide to Native Bees of Australia\, in which he discusses the estimated 2000 species of Australian bees.

SUMMARY:BLACK COCKATOOS AND BANKSIAS
DESCRIPTION:Black cockatoos and Banksias are much-loved icons of our natural heritage. \nEnjoy a morning learning about these bushland jewels at Bold Park. Here you can share information on their nature and interdependence and the fragility of their numbers. You will also learn about community efforts to conserve them into the future. \n\nExplore Bold Park with us\nThe Urban Bushland Council warmly invites you to spend the morning exploring the Black Cockatoos and Banksias at Bold Park. This is part of our celebration of the 2019 Australian Heritage Festival. Bold Park is one of the largest bushland remnants in the urban area of the Swan Coastal Plain\, and home to the Western Australian Ecology Centre where we will meet. \nSome great speakers will share some of their knowledge and understandings about these two iconic\, but threatened bushland treasures. Then they will guide you on a walk through beautiful Tuart-Banksia Woodland to the lookout at Reabold Hill. We will also pause along the way to identify the Banksia species and other native flora and fauna encountered. \nThrough this\, you will appreciate the unique biodiversity of Bold Park within its urban context through the panoramic views from the lookout. You will also learn a little about community efforts to protect both Black Cockatoos and Banksias\, as well as become familiar some of the challenges to their futures. \nFacilities\nBold Park onsite facilities: Accessible\, with accessible toilets; family events\, guided tours\, parking\, toilets and refreshments available.
