SUMMARY:Farewell to Ocean Reef Bushland Walk A
DESCRIPTION:New date Sunday 5 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.

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: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:Anstey-Keane Walk
DESCRIPTION:Join UBC and Friends of Forrestdale for a walk through the urban treasure of Anstey Keane damplands. \nIt is the second most floristically diverse Bush Forever site on the Swan Coastal Plain and has more plant species than Kings Park.  More importantly\, its vegetation is in excellent condition. It is an area of high biological importance. \nYou will be guided by locals\, David and Bryony who love this bushland and are fighting to stop human incursions. They will show us some special places. Bring some morning tea for a stop along the way. The thick sand can be quite difficult to walk through in places. \nMeeting point: corner of Anstey Road and Keane Road \nImage credit – Brett Glossop.

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.
