The Skipton Landcare Group is doing a fantastic job along their patch of creek. They have recently just started up this year and have a bit of work ahead of them in controlling Phalaris and woody weeds along the creek frontage. It’s already looking much more welcoming for visitors to the town, native plants will be put in next year to even more beautify the area. Well done guys! 🙌🏻

June can be a gloomy time of year, short days and many plants go into dormancy. But there are some exceptions, Spreading Wattle is one of our native plants flowering right now! Great food for beneficial insects and makes excellent bird habitat with those thorny leaves. Fast growing and can establish under mature eucalyptus trees!

When the top of the catchment is doing this, you know there has been a lot of rain! 🙌🏻

Our native pollinators at work, landing on some Sticky Everlasting. This is a native daisy which is flowering currently in our local bushland.

Now is a great time of year to go out spotlighting for frogs. Under the cover of darkness, the Common Eastern Froglet is the most abundant frog you will see. You will see high numbers after a decent rain; Dams, flooded grasslands and streams are all good places to start your search.

A big CONGRATS to everyone who took part in the schools national tree day! Also thanks to @toyota_aus and @cityofballarat for their support 🙏
