If you are keen to embark on an environmental restoration project but don't know where to start then this workshop is for you!
Does using technology to tackle pests mean working smarter rather than harder?
Please join Elders from Duduroa Dhargal Aboriginal Corporation and Ben Humphries from BirdLIfe Australia for a morning exploring Susan Campbell Reserve in Wodonga.
Join G4W at Table Top to see a superb example of a habitat garden hosted by Sue and Brian who have generously offered to showcase their garden. When they moved into their place around 7 years ago, the gardens were planted out with rows of grevilleas and camellias, with a sprinkle of crepe myrtles. Now the garden is an animal haven, with stunning textures and variety, providing habitat for a wide range of wildlife.
In the garden birds flitter between the purposely complex flora layers and enjoy a drink from numerous bird baths and ponds. They have settled in and created an incredible amount of nests to spot. Reptiles scutter along the undergrowth and amphibians have a home in the ponds.
Sue and Brian are also lucky enough to see gliders and possums around their property. While at the open garden you’ll also have the opportunity to see planting they’re doing outside their garden to increase connectivity to an adjoining reserve.
Join Wodonga Landcare and experienced bush regenerator and educator, Sue Brunskill for an Urban Weed Wise Workshop in Wodonga.
This workshop will equip you with information and skills to identify and manage weeds on your patch.
It will include a theory based session indoors to run through the fundamentals of weed identification, spread, resources, control and management. We’ll then head outdoors nearby to put the morning's learning into practice and discuss real world application.
This workshop includes both an indoor session around a specimen table followed by a field foray. It introduces participants to the diversity of the Kingdom Fungi, and the basic principles of fungus identification and fungal ecology.
In this workshop we will engage multiple senses to examine the major diagnostic features of edible fungi alongside their toxic lookalikes. We will also follow the principles of ‘ecological foraging’ – an approach based on care, conservation and an understanding of ecosystem dynamics.
Are you interested in learning about collaborative and best practice management of one of Australia’s most prolific pest species? With the Victorian Rabbit Action Network, we will be delivering this workshop to engage local landholders on rabbits, and to explore best practice control methods in peri urban landscapes.
