Many landholders know all too well, the truth is – you can ‘plan’ all you like …. BUT… in the case of planting en masse, it is innocent rain drops that will flick plans into action. So while we wait to for a decent rain event to plant another three biodiversity plots in the dieback area this Autumn, we can update you on what we have done to date. Each of our existing 12 biodiversity plots are showing varying degrees of success (see graph below). We have set up smaller sub plots to monitor tree survival and growth rates without having to traipse across the whole area. Most of the species that we have planted (see pie chart) are doing well.. We have passed a clever drone across each plot to capture baseline images that we can look back on in years to come. Our free Native Tree & Shrub […]

Upper Snowy Landcare, Greening Australia, local botanical artist and some active local school children got together to plant trees and create art in response to tree dieback on the Monaro. slovenska-lekaren.com To bring the subject of Monaro tree dieback into sharper focus for local children (and their teachers and parents), primary school students in the tree dieback area were invited to a special day at Cooba Educational Centre. The children were given the opportunity in one afternoon to witness tree dieback up close, discuss tree decline and the importance of a healthy biodiverse landscape, plant a local native tree with Greening Australia (funded by the NSW Environmental Trust) and be instructed by botanical artist Sharon Field. Ms Field’s fine botanical art will be exhibited at the Cooma Raglan Gallery in September under the project name, ‘Monaro Runes’. The art completed by the students will also feature in this exhibition putting an educative and […]
