SUMMARY:Building community capacity
DESCRIPTION:TO CARE FOR URBAN BUSHLAND \nProject Update\nHear about our new approach to capacity building for Friends groups\, our trials and tribulations and our successes. Find out where are we now\, what’s coming up and how this project can benefit all our groups. And come along and meet Johanna Riddell\, our project officer. \nThe Project\nFriends groups that are active\, viable and influential are better able to advocate for and protect their bushland. Through this project UBC will help establish new Friends groups for bushland sites where there is no Friends group; work with some Friends groups encountering problems with volunteer recruitment and help groups be more successful through capacity building workshops. What we learn during this process will become a volunteer recruitment and retention plan for our members and beyond. \n \nWe are working with Friends of Wireless Hill\, Friends of Star Swamp Bushland\, Friends of Trigg Bushland\, Friends of Lake Gwelup and Friends of Erindale Road Bushland as well as initiating a friends group for Cottonwood Bushland in Dianella. \nGeneral Meeting\nOur presentation will be preceded by a short General Meeting of the Urban Bushland Council\, commencing at 6:30 pm.  Member Groups will be asked to vote on proposed changes to the Rules (or constitution).  You can find the Agenda and proposed Rule changes here. Member Groups are invited to appoint a proxy if they are unable to attend the meeting. The PROXY  form is here and should be handed to the Secretary prior to the meeting commencing or via email by COB Monday 28 November. \nJoin Us\nJoin us in the Conference Room at City West Lotteries House from 6:00 pm for refreshments. Please let us know that you are coming along.  You can either RSVP at the bottom of this page (keep scrolling) or else email ubc@bushlandperth.org.au. You may also wish to join us online – email ubc@bushlandperth.org.au to request a Zoom link. \nAcknowledgements\nPhoto credits: Margaret Matthews (Friends of Wireless Hill) and Christine Curry (Friends of Star Swamp Bushland) \nThis project is supported by funding from the Western Australian Government’s State NRM Program

SUMMARY:Trigg Bushland - Walk and Bushtucker Talk
DESCRIPTION:About Trigg Bushland\nThis event is now fully subscribed. Email ubc@bushlandperth.org.au to be added to the wait list should places become available.  \nJoin us for a guided walk around Trigg bushland over the unique and ancient parabolic sand dunes\, that have been stabilised by a long process of revegetation. \nFew examples of this type of landform remain within the metropolitan area. The northern rim of the major Trigg parabolic dune borders Karrinyup Road and reaches its eastern extremity just short of the corner with Jeanes Road. The southern rim borders Jeanes Road. The dunes are composed of white Quindalup sands formed within the last 6\,000 years\, during a period of rising and falling sea levels. As these dunes advanced they buried the limestone and yellow sands of the 100\,000 years old Spearwood dune system. In some parts of the reserve\, north of Karrinyup Road for example\, Spearwood sands still occur at the surface. \nSpot the Quandong trees that are scattered in the bushland\, and with Dale Tilbrook\, taste their fruits in various condiments and dishes\, on site! \nAbout Dale\nDale Tilbrook\, a Wardandi Bibbulmun woman\, has spent many years gathering knowledge from her elders. \nDale has been a Swan Valley local since 1998\, when she opened the Maalinup Gallery with her brother Lyall\, offering authentic Aboriginal art\, gifts and souvenirs. Having spent many years gathering knowledge from her elders and other sources\, Dale is often called on to talk about bushtucker\, which she loves presenting and encouraging people to incorporate into their everyday cooking. \nDale says\, “Educating the world about Australian native edibles is an important part of my cultural journey” \nAbout the Event\nCome along and meet the Friends of Trigg Bushland.  Register now!  There are only 30 places available. Scroll to the bottom of the page to find the link \nMeet at the south side of St Mary’s Anglican Girls’ School – There is parking off Elliott Rd \nThis event is supported by funding from the Western Australian Government’s State NRM Program.

SUMMARY:Why would younger people join your group
DESCRIPTION:Recruiting and retaining volunteers is a significant challenge being faced by many of our “Friends of” groups. \nAnd yet\, many young people are engaged in volunteering. In Mission Australia’s 2020 survey of young Australians volunteering was reported as one of the three top activities (after sports and about the same as arts activities). Furthermore\, young people are more likely to volunteer informally. And yet\, the environment was the second most important issue for young people in the Mission Australia 2021 Youth Survey. \nMeet Young Volunteers\n \nSo\, to answer some questions we will be inviting a panel of younger people (14-35 yo) to share their actual experiences. \n\nWhat drives them?\nHow could we invite them to join our activities/group?\nWhat are some of their favourite activities?\nWhat skills & experience do they bring? (eg planting\, social media\, finances)\nWhat has worked to maintain connection with a local group?\nHow can groups meet them half-way?\n\nIt will be a terrific opportunity to hear their guidance. You can then ask your burning questions as well as highlight your own experiences. \nJoin Us\nJoin us in the Conference Room at City West Lotteries House from 6:00 pm for refreshments. Please let us know that you are coming along.  You can either RSVP at the bottom of this page (keep scrolling) or else email ubc@bushlandperth.org.au \nPhoto by Heidi Hardisty – Lake Claremont bushland rehabilitation volunteering

SUMMARY:Walk Woodvale Waters\, Beenyup Channel
DESCRIPTION:Come and share the joys and vision of a restored Perth treasure. We will be exploring Woodvale Waters and the Beenyup Channel in the Yellagonga Regional Park which feed into the Southern end of Lake Joondalup! \nWoodvale Waters and the Beenyup Channel\nThe wetland system here was a really important place for the Whadjuk Mooro Moort. Bringing back these wetlands to life is bringing culture back to life! Some wildlife remains guarding the remaining bushland. \nEuropeans settlers thought wetlands meant farming all year round and much has been cleared.  The former chicken farm has been the main contributor to nutrient laden waters which weeds have recruited vigorously along the cleared edges with Typha choking  the wetland. \nA newly formed Friends group of two couples started 3 years ago with an idea of giving overworked DBCA staff a hand. That has since turned into grand ideas\, a 4 year grant and the Scouts helping plant and monitor the transformation. This volunteer bushcare group have chosen to restore an important linkage and they will be loooking for supporters. \nIf you look at the NatureLinks Perth map you will see how important this area is for linking areas of native vegetation. The Yellagonga Regional Wetland Park should be a green link to the Swan River via Lake Monger. \nJoin Us\nPlease register below (keep scrolling to the bottom of the page). Meet us on Streeton Promenade\, close to Olsen Ct from 9:15 am. Wear suitable covered shoes and bring your own water bottle if needed. Bring some morning tea for a chat afterwards.

SUMMARY:Linking spaces to save species
DESCRIPTION:Loss\, fragmentation and degradation of habitat are recognised as one of 6 main threats to our biodiversity. So linking spaces saves species.  Come along and find out about what’s new with NatureLink Perth. \nThe team at NatureLink Perth have carried out huge amounts of work researching the most cost effect ecological linkages to save species and ecosystems. Now they have created an interactive platform to enable you to engage with NatureLinks near you\, to make them stronger and help sustain our biodiversity. \nLearn how to use this tool to see how your patch links to others. This could help with your bush regeneration and advocacy strategies. \nThis research gives bushcare groups the science to contest developers and give your council direction to take action to strengthen these ecological linkages. \nFor example\, long undisturbed Underwood Avenue Bushland provides essential connectivity from Kings Park to Bold Park.  And this bushland still has bird species thought to be lost to urban Perth. \nMarg Owen has captured photos in there of Red Capped Robin\, Spotted Pardalote\, Mistletoe Bird\, Western Spinebill and the Striated Pardalote.  These little birds keep the bushland ecosystem healthy. \nMeet our speaker\nCome and listen to Jane Chambers from NatureLink Perth and Murdoch University and learn a new way of thinking about urban biodiversity. Find out how we can all be part of something bigger and better for our flora and fauna. \nDr Jane Chambers is a Senior Lecturer in Aquatic Ecology at Murdoch University and her research interests focus on wetlands\, rivers and estuaries\, primarily in the areas of ecosystem processes\, management and restoration. \nJoin Us\nJoin us in the Conference Room at City West Lotteries House from 6:00 pm for refreshments. \nCovid-19 Information:  We will be complying with the relevant public health orders. So please let us know that you are coming along.  You can either RSVP at the bottom of this page (keep scrolling) or else email ubc@bushlandperth.org.au.  If you do not feel well on the day\, please do not attend. \nAvailable online: If you can’t make it to West Perth\, you can join us online via Zoom. Please email ubc@bushlandperth.org.au to request the Zoom link. \nPhotos by Marg Owen.

SUMMARY:Walk the Roe 8 / Roe 9 Corridor
DESCRIPTION:Join CCWC for a walk on the Roe 8 / Roe 9 corridor\nThe Cockburn Community Wildlife Corridor (CCWC) is pleased to invite members of the Urban Bushland Council to join us for a guided walk in the corridor bushland on Sunday May 15th from 9.30 to 11.00 am. \nCCWC was formed in 2014 to champion a vision for a linear wildlife park on the Roe 8/9 lands that stretch from the iconic Bibra Lake wetlands in the east to the beautiful beach lands in the west at South Fremantle. In the west this corridor of land also connects with remnant bushland in the north-south dune system in Manning Park. \nThis land  has enormous heritage value for the original Noongar people who have camped here for over 40\,000 years. In addition\, it covers a range of landforms that have created biodiverse ecologies with unique species of flora and fauna seen nowhere else on earth. \nOur envisaged corridor has seven distinct ecological systems running from east to west. They include soil types ranging from the Bassendean and Serpentine Dunes to Quindalup Dunes.  And the corridor also encompasses a freshwater lake system to saltwater coastal lakes. \nWe will look at natural and re-vegetation in a section of the corridor which is situated on the Serpentine Dunes. Then we will talk later about the connectivity issues and challenges we face to achieve our vision.  One of the interesting plants we will see is the Western Woody Pear (Xylomelum occidentale) – Noongar name Danja/Dambung.) \nJoin Us\nWe can only take 30 people on the walk. Please register below (keep scrolling). We will email you the meeting place in Coolbellup once you have registered. Meet us there from 9:15 am. Wear suitable covered shoes and bring your own water bottle if needed. \nOur tour guide will be Diana Corbyn. After the tour we will have morning tea and talk a little about the corridor vision and our ongoing work to protect\, restore and advocate for this bushland.  Bring some morning tea to share! \nPhoto 1: Nuts on a mature woody pear in the corridor bushland Photo 2: Woody pear (Xylomelum occidentale) revegetating naturally in a bulldozed section of the corridor.

SUMMARY:Hepburn Heights Conservation Area Walk
DESCRIPTION:Hepburn Heights Conservation Area is an important urban bushland for both the North-South and East-West linkages along the Gnangara Water Mound from the coast to the hills and parallel to the coast. \nWhat you will see\nThe majority of the native vegetation is in very good to excellent condition. So far surveys have identified 198 native flora species. These include 1 priority species\, 9 significant species\, and 14 native fungi species. \nSeveral birds species including Pink and Grey Galahs make this their home. In addition\, many Carnaby’s Black Cockatoos pass through to feed on the Banksias and Parrot Bush. And in Spring you can to see the vistas of yellow of the Hibertia and Acacia species. You can also find Spider orchids\, Donkey orchids and Stylidiums. And of course\, many more plants will be in flower by then. Invasive weeds are the major threat to this area.  And the Friends are looking for more volunteer hours to help control them. \nSaving Hepburn Heights\nThe saving of the Hepburn Heights Conservation Area from residential and commercial development is a tribute to community action between 1987 and 1992. \nThe public fight began in 1987 when the Government gave notice of rezoning the area to residential development. Concerned residents met several times and formed the Hepburn Woodland Preservation Group (HWPG). \nClearing of the bushland was the subject of on-site protests and protracted court actions until the matter was resolved in 1992. This meant that about 60 percent of the area was cleared for development and about 40 percent of the bushland was preserved. In 1993 the HWPG was succeeded by the Friends of Hepburn & Pinnaroo Bushland. \nThis campaign resulted in the formation of  the Urban Bushland Council WA  ‘to represent and support all groups involved in the preservation of WA urban bushland’. \nWhere to meet\nMeet us at the O’Leary Road entrance to the Hepburn Heights Conservation Area in Padbury. You can find ample parking on O’Leary Road. \nJoin us afterwards for morning tea and to exchange of what you found and liked during the excursion.

SUMMARY:Submission Writing: Draft Native Vegetation Policy
DESCRIPTION:The State Government is finalising a ‘Native Vegetation Policy’\, critical for the future protection of urban bushland. \n“As the state’s population and economy grows\, pressures on Western Australia’s native vegetation resources will continue. A whole-of-government\, industry and community approach is needed to achieve positive environmental\, social\, cultural and economic outcomes from native vegetation management. The policy guides collaboration across State Government portfolios. It will foster protection and enhancement of the state’s native vegetation together with ecologically sustainable development.”  \nSource: WA State Government (2021) Draft Native Vegetation Policy\, page 6. \nEarly morning in the Valley. Photo: Friends of Ellis Brook Valley.\nUBC urges you to continue to advocate to the State Government and the wider community the important values of our remaining native vegetation. And we all know the importance of its intrinsic\, natural values as well as contribution to environmental services and generational well being.  So\, now is the time to have your say. The Government’s Draft Native Vegetation Policy needs your input. \nSubmissions Workshop\nJoin us for a  ‘Briefing and Submissions Workshop’ on Thursday 7 October in the Great Southern Room at the State Library. \nDuring the workshop we will provide you with the opportunity to have your questions answered. You will also be able to share your knowledge and understanding with others. This will then help us all to either complete the online survey or to make a direct submission.  Those submissions are due by by Monday 25th October. \nFor some background\, you can read our 2019 submission to the Issues Paper directly from this link. We also recommend that you read the Consultation Draft and the Explanatory notes in advance. And if possible\, attend one of the webinars scheduled during September. \nGetting there…..\nPiney Lakes boardwalk\, through a paperbark forest.

We also invite you to spend some time browsing their updated website \nSurveys have identified 217 native flora species\, 69 native fungi species\, three native mammals\, 64 native birds\, 16 native reptile species\, two native amphibians\, and 34 native invertebrates. And a number these species are of conservation significance. \nWho are the Friends of Warwick Bushland?\nThey are a community group that cares for the bushland within Warwick Conservation Reserve. The Group was established in 1999 by Karen Clarke and Robyn McElroy and built on Robyn’s group formed two years earlier to care for the Warwick Senior High School bushland. Currently the group is led by Stephanie Murphy and Lynda Woodhams.\n \nThe Friends undertake activities such as biological surveys\, collecting seeds\, planting in degraded areas\, weed control\, removal of rubbish\, guided walks\, displays and talks\, and facilitate educational activities with schools. The group have also accumulated a large amount of historical and scientific knowledge about the site’s past use and its vegetation\, flora\, fauna and fungi. \nMembership is free and open to all ages. \nHow to get there\nSo\, come along and find out more about our treasures\, challenges and achievements.  Meet us at the Warwick Bowling Club carpark area along Lloyd Drive  in Warwick. Look for our Friends of Warwick Bushland banner. We would love to see you there.  And\, please bring the usual (water\, hat\, clothes to suit weather\, inquisitiveness) and a cuppa/afternoon tea to enjoy at the end. \nScroll to the bottom of the page to book your free ticket.

SUMMARY:Influencing your local MP
DESCRIPTION:Caring for your patch can require more than weeding\, planting seedlings and watering them through the dry seasons. Sometimes you need to advocate for your patch’s protection. And it is certainly worthwhile to make sure that your local MP knows you and your patch. Come along and be part of a panel discussion where some of our members talk about their experiences in engaging with and influencing their local MP. \nLike you\, our panel members have been involved in some very important campaigns: Rethink the Link and No to Roe8; No wave park on Tompkins Park\, Hands Off Point Peron\, protecting the coastal environment around Trigg\, as well as the every day care for their local patch. \nBackground Information\nIn April\, Dr Judy Fisher talked about the importance of International  Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES)\, and how that could assist you to protect your local place.  You can find a copy of Judy’s presentation here. And then in June we had Professor Kingsley Dixon talk about national standards for ecological restoration.  A link to his presentation is here. \nSo\, you have new tools and are well armed with why your patch is important. How do you translate that sentiment into greater protection? Find out why influencing your local MP is so important. Do you know who is your local member in the 41st Parliament? \nJoin Us \nJoin us from 6 pm for refreshments; the meeting will start at 6:30 pm. Share your stories with other like minded people. \nScroll to the bottom of the page to RSVP. \nIf you can’t make it to West Perth and would also like to join us on Zoom\, email UBC at ubc@bushlandperth.org.au so that we can send you the link.

SUMMARY:Walk-shop 2021: Alfred Cove
DESCRIPTION:Come to our first Walk-Shop for 2021 at the beautiful Alfred Cove. \nMore about Alfred Cove\nPart of the Swan Estuary Marine Park in Melville\, Alfred Cove is a place of great natural beauty. It forms part of Bush Forever Site 331 and is a conservation area for native flora and fauna. Although small it includes a number of threatened species and ecological communities. \nThree relatively small but ecologically significant areas became the Swan Estuary Marine Park in 1990. Although distributed around the estuary\, they are the A-Class Reserves of Alfred Cove (8.7ha)\, Pelican Point (5.5ha) and Milyu (4.4ha). Back then\, the Park was established “to maintain and restore the natural environment\, and to protect\, care for and promote the study of indigenous flora and fauna and to preserve any features of archaeological\, historic or scientific interest”. \nTogether they all provide sanctuary to native fauna –particularly bird-life. Birds use each Reserve on a daily basis for foraging\, breeding and roosting\, depending on weather and tidal conditions. \nAlfred Cove has National Trust classification as ‘last remaining area of shoreline samphire and rush on the lower estuary’ and is one of the three remaining mudflat feeding grounds within the Swan Estuary. \nSERAG\nSwan Estuary Reserves Action Group (SERAG) was formed in 2010 in response to a pressing need for action to ensure the long-term health and well-being of three unique sites in the Swan River Estuary that have been set aside by the wider community as the Swan Estuary Marine Park. \nSERAG volunteers work hard through hands-on bush- and river-care\, community education and advocacy work to protect and strengthen the natural heritage values embedded at the site. You can read more on their website and follow their activities on Facebook. \nThe Walk-Shop\nSERAG volunteers will introduce you to their patch at Alfred Cove. They will also explain the threats and challenges and why it’s all worth the hard work. Come along and tap into their wise practical experience that you may be able to transfer to the way that you go about caring for your own patch. \nMeet at the little car park at the intersection of Burke Drive and Haig Road in Attadale. Park on shoulder of Burke Drive. \nAs always\, wear clothes appropriate to weather conditions; bring your own water bottle\, and leave dogs at home. \nFuture events\nCome along to our workshop – Why Your Patch Matters on Sunday 25 July or to our panel discussion “Influencing your local MP” on Wednesday 28 July.

SUMMARY:National Standards for Ecological Restoration
DESCRIPTION:We continue our theme of protecting our urban bushland. Celebrate with us the world launch of the UN Decade of Ecosystem Restoration. So\, come along and listen to Kingsley Dixon describe the  critically important national standards for ecological restoration. \nThe UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration is a global rallying cry to heal our planet.  There has never been a more urgent need to revive damaged ecosystems than now. Ecosystems support all life on Earth. Therefore\, the healthier our ecosystems are\, the healthier the planet – and its people. So the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration aims to prevent\, halt and reverse the degradation of ecosystems on every continent and in every ocean. It can help to end poverty\, combat climate change and prevent a mass extinction. And it will only succeed if everyone plays a part. \nOur speaker \nOur next talk is by Professor Kingsley Dixon from Curtin University and previously at Kings Park and Botanic Garden. He is a passionate public speaker in biodiversity conservation and a keen gardener and bushland restorer. \nHis talk on 10 June will focus on the National Standards for Ecological Restoration.  This topic is very relevant to all conservation volunteers working in urban bushland. So please scroll to the bottom of the page to RSVP. \nKingsley was Foundation Director of Science at Kings Park and Botanic Garden for 32 years. During this time he established its research capacity in the conservation and restoration sciences by building a group of over 50 scientists and graduate students. His programs emphasise ‘science-into-practice’\, and has been funded by 44 industry partners in the past decade. He has also established new science partnerships\, won nationally competitive funding\, created the International Network for Seed-based Restoration and was the foundation Chair of the Society for Ecological Restoration Australasia. \nFurthermore\, his research has resulted in WA being recognised as an international hub in mining environmental science. He is Director of the ARC Centre for Mine Site Restoration. He also holds positions on a number of international and national boards and commissions. These include Chair of the International Network for Seed-based Restoration\, Chair of the Society for Ecological Restoration Australasia and Board member of the international Society for Ecological Restoration. \nIn 2016 he published the first International Standards for the Practice of Ecological Restoration. In the same year he published Australia’s first National Standards. \nNational Standards for Ecological Restoration\nThe practice of ecological restoration seeks to transform humanity’s role from one where we are the agents of degradation to one where we act as conservators and healers of indigenous ecosystems. \nThe National Standards for the Practice of Ecological Restoration in Australia has been prepared by the Society for Ecological Restoration Australasia (SERA) in collaboration with its Partners; all dedicated to effective conservation management of Australia’s indigenous ecological communities. SERA and its Partners have produced these Standards for adoption by community\, industry\, regulators/government and land managers to raise the standard of restoration and rehabilitation practice across all sectors. The document provides a blueprint of principles and standards that will aid voluntary as well as regulatory organisations in their efforts to encourage\, measure and audit ecologically appropriate environmental repair in all land and water ecosystems of Australia. \nJoin Us\nJoin us from 6 pm for refreshments; the talk will start at 6:30 pm. \nKingsley will be joining us via Zoom. If you can’t make it to West Perth and would also like to join us on Zoom\, email UBC at ubc@bushlandperth.org.au so that we can send you the link. \nFuture events\nCome along to our Walk in Alfred Cove on Saturday 19 June or to our workshop – Why Your patch Matters on Sunday 25 July. You might also like to go to the Wildflower Society’s Plant Identification Workshop on Saturday 10 July.

SUMMARY:Geoheritage: What is it? Why is it important?
DESCRIPTION:How will recording geoheritage knowledge in our bush help save it. Where do we start? \nA case study\nCommunity groups in action – the Walpole-Nornalup Inlets experience. Be inspired by the work of Dr Vic Semeniuk and Dr. Margaret Brocx\, from Geoheritage Australasia Inc. \nVic Semeniuk & Margaret Brocx with Lyn Beazley\, Chief Scientist WA 26 August 2012 (Twitter)\nVic’s ability to think outside the box has brought new scientific approaches to conservation. He and his team have managed to secure conservation recognition for 25 Bush areas including one Ramsar site. However\, life is not slowing down for him as he has become a go to person by many including our UBC groups for advice on the many crazy incursions to our conservation estate. \nWe therefore welcome Vic and Margaret to speak to members and supporters of UBC. \nThe Walpole-Nornalup Inlets in southern Western Australia provides a case study of how two community groups became involved in the study of an estuary. The Walpole-Nornalup Inlet is an estuarine system that comprises a range of natural history features.  It is also the most complex and the most humid estuary in Western Australia. Community groups and the Semeniuk Research Group personnel assisted in the sampling and documentation of the estuarine environments\, vegetation\, stratigraphy and hydrology\, and also assisted in the monthly monitoring of the groundwater over five years to provide a baseline of the system in terms of its groundwater dynamics and hydrochemistry.  The study then resulted in the Walpole-Nornalup Inlet being fast-tracked to be inscribed as a Marine Park. So\, this study underscores the role and power of community science in protecting the natural history of an area. \nUsing Geoheritage\nGeoheritage\, and its sister endeavour\, Geoconservation\, are concerned with the identification\, categorisation\, and preservation of Earth geological feature. Therefore they are integral to geo-education\, geotourism\, planning and environmental management. Community Science can play a large part in documenting and preserving this natural history. Through this\, they provide State and Local government agencies with information for robust protection\, management plans\, and education.  And so to achieve this\, communities would benefit from firstly documenting the natural history features of their bushland areas in terms of geology\, soils\, groundwater\, and vegetation communities. \nJoin Us\nJoin us from 6 pm for refreshments; the 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.

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: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.
