Biodiversity Field Survey Trinity Reserve Saturday 30th June 2007
Lots of birds were enjoying the flooded grass on Trinity Reserve when we
did the field survey including black swans, seagulls, coots and Pied
Oystercatchers.
News from David in USA/Europe
Hi everyone. I will be in Ireland for the next 2 weeks. I hope the
planting was successful with enough people turning up on Saturday. Spring
blossoms and flowers are out. NY has tulips and flowers in the streets and
parks. Street groups look after the beds around trees and a street president
coordinates it.
All the best from David G.
Biodiversity Field Survey Heirisson Island (North-East)
Saturday 23rd June 2007
You could stay in bed on a rainy Saturday morning, but
then you'd miss out on another great field survey.
Despite the weather, Jenny, Rada, Andrew, Dudley and Sally
surveyed the north-eastern half of Heirisson Island. Quite a lot of the
trees are flowering which looks nice and also helps with identification.
We also walked over to the other side of the island to say
hello to the kangaroos.
Biodiversity Field Survey Ozone Reserve Saturday 16th
June 2007
On Saturday afternoon, Peta, John, Warren, Dudley and
Sally surveyed Ozone Reserve. Along Adelaide Tce the plantings of banksia
and other local plants is creating a beautiful shelter belt which will add
to the habitat provided by Point Fraser just over the road. Quite a sight
against the backdrop of the city buildings.

Working bee at Robertson Park, Saturday 9th June 2007
A baker's dozen of willing workers tackled our first
planting of the winter season at Robertson Park on Saturday morning. We
planted Baumea juncea near the water's edge and Ficinea nodosa
up higher. In three hours we got a huge amount planted plus tackled some of
the weighter issues of the world (such as the Dalai Lama and yesterday's
Eagles versus Essendon game).
Deirdre, Chris, Joe and Greg plant Baumia juncea by
the water's edge.

the river foreshore between Barrack Square and the Narrows Bridge. While an
entirely constructed landscape, some discoveries were made including tough
saltwater paperbark trees Melaleuca cuticularis, clinging to the
river's edge.
