Trees across #MountMacedon have been knocked down after being clear felled, #devastating the local #Landcare group.
“It is just devastating to walk around this area that was a native forest right near the top of Mount Macedon and see trees smashed on the ground for hundreds of metres,” she said.
“This area was home to #wombats and #birds, #wallabies and #echidnas, and now those animals will be struggling to survive.”

@alina Do you have non-profits, landcare groups, trusts for Nature Conservancy or environmental organisations who can help?
Australia has a few. Some will help you manage it, sell it for you, etc.

#Aboriginal land managers restoring #BassStrait island #lungtalanana to #precolonial conditions facing big hurdles
"Until we get rid of the cats, we cannot put other smaller, more vulnerable species back out on that island"
By Georgia Hogge
Posted Tue 4 Jun 2024"In short: A native rewilding project on the #Tasmanian Bass Strait island of lungtalanana, or #ClarkeIsland, will see #wombats, #wallabies and #potoroos reintroduced to the landscape from next year.
"The island has been managed by #TraditionalOwners as protected land since 2009.
"What's next? #Landcare groups hope to eradicate feral cats from the island and are calling for increased funding from the federal government."

2 years and 2 months; the #BushRegen / #rewilding in a local riparian zone is moving along nicely. Using a hybrid #Syntropic / #miyawaki style in rows (barely visible now), with #pollard, lifting (pruning), biomass cycling of natives/weeds, and eventually thinning to select better performers to increase growth rates. 60m long, 40m wide, just over 3000 plants mostly all grown from seed (some seedlings dug up and potted).

Taking a wander along a local creek, looking for Madeira Vine.
Will farmers ever do anything about land management if it is not profitable? While they are losing a fraction of their land, it's far cheaper for them to just ignore runaway erosion. This will not fix itself.

From mown grass paddock, to planted rows, to raging torrent of water and a loss of plants, to a beginning of a canopy after 1.5 years.
*Commersonia bartramia* feature as the main pioneer in this riparian revegetation site which will be used as managed shade and biomass for the mixed species planting they protect underneath them. Eventually some of the species will be thinned leaving the best performers at a spacing that suits the final goal of complete canopy cover and wild understory which is common of subtropical vegetation in this location.
As the site matures, shade-loving species will be added as I can propagate them. Plus more Lomandra, you can never have enough.

Ban petrol lawn equipment
"Petrol leaf blowers and lawn mowers are shockingly bad for the planet. Bans are beginning to spread.Virtually all small engines are two-stroke, which burn a dirtier fuel mix than vehicles do. Advocates say that in addition to the climate-changing emissions released by the engines, workers are exposed directly to their exhaust and rarely wear filters to protect their lungs. Other people complain about the noise they make, especially when so many suburban #residents now work from home".

The beauty of #weeds in a young #bushregeneration planting (others may call it #rewilding).
Working in the #landcare industry, we are told that all exotic plants are bad and must be removed, while there happens to be a cozy relationship between chemical companies and the goal of recreating precolonial vegetation types (definition: putting the genie back in the bottle). It's a noble pursuit and a simple goal to achieve; weed=bad, kill weed. Note: I'm definitely not saying that some invasive weeds don't deserve all of our ire and don't require chemical control, don't get me wrong.
For the small scale, we can break vegetation types into #successional needs and suddenly they aren't all bad, an exotic herb or grass is not always the weed of a tree canopy when that's the goal we are working for, nor will the conditions be present for it to thrive when that canopied state is achieved.
Plus, look at the photos; it's a concert of life and nothing seems unhappy. A gentle management and our tree goals might get there just as fast as a spray job. Much better than dead spray circles with a chemical manufactured across the other side of the world. At least this has insects.
The #permaculture ethos of "let nature do the work" isn't wrong and one day the landcare industry may see the futility of fighting nature most of the time and that all exotics are worth destroying, naturalised is a term that's forgotten for some. Careful consideration is always needed.

THIS TASMANIA…
By the smooth waters of the Derwent at Bridgewater, Tasmania, a Landcare group checks out what is growing along the shore.The hills on the opposite shore show typical landuse patterns for this part of Tasmania with farming and settlement on the lower slopes and the steeper upper slopes with their thinner and rockier soils left to forest.

Brent Street Reserve Landcare will be having our second meeting this Saturday 2-4pm at Brent Street Reserve. We'll be meeting monthly on the first Saturday of every month at that time.
On the off chance that anyone is in the general #Glenorchy area and free at that time (or for some portion of it), please drop by and give us a hand getting rid of some boneseed/rubbish! #tasmania #landcare
