Success of Landcare's Helping Hands

10 Jun, 2024

Since February we have helped 5 different property owners maintain plantings and/or organised revegetation projects. All of the properties assisted so far are Land for Wildlife properties. We are always looking for new properties for revegetation projects especially those that help establish/enhance wildlife corridors. We have had volunteers assist us from the University of Technologies 'Big Lift' program as well as members of the public from Wollongong and Sydney.

Supporting Local Guides to manage Pittosporum

10 Jun, 2024

Bebrue Guide Camp ground at Mittagong is a Land for Wildlife property. Earlier this year we were approached by the local guide coordinator about a problem with weed management at the camp. The grounds cover nearly 9 hectares of high quality bushland which is being invaded from the south by pittosporum. While pittosporum is a native plant it normally only represents about 10% of tree cover in Mt Gibraltar woodland ecosystems. In the last 20 years it has become a more successful species. It is behaving as a weed and creating a dense canopy cover that blocks sunlight from understory plants and leads to a monoculture. Today we showed a small group of guides how to identify and remove small plants. Jen Slattery also set up an i-naturalist project for the area. The guides plan on continuing the work started today as part of their service requirements.

Southern Highlands Koala Conservation Project (SHKCP) planting day

15 Apr, 2024

Thanks to the help of the University of Technology's 'The Big Lift' and a band of local volunteers, SHLN had a very successful planting day on Saturday 13th April. It was a delight to work with such an enthusiastic group of people. The students were a joy. They discussed the importance of community and taking action to support their beliefs about climate change while they worked and seemed to really enjoy the opportunity to be with us. None of this would have been possible without the SHKCP led by Casey Taylor at Wingecarribee Shire Council. Casey provided plants and contractors to dig holes as well as do following up watering.

Launch of Landcare's Helping Hands

28 Mar, 2024

Land for Wildlife (LFW) property owners are into conservation and revegetation but they are often alone in their endeavours. Once a planting is finished they can be overwhelmed by maintenance and weed problems. Landcare's helping hands aims to help landowners with projects that are too big for the individual to handle and too small for contractors. We also advise on weed management, suggest contractors and assist with grants.
