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.
