SUMMARY:DRB Presents: BoorYul-Bah-Bilya: A new community catchment plan for the Mandoon Bilya (Helena River)
DESCRIPTION:DRB Presents: BoorYul-Bah-Bilya: A new community catchment plan for the Mandoon Bilya (Helena River) \nNote: no RSVP required. \nCOVID19: Even though restrictions have eased\, we will still encourage members and visitors to take precautions and please do not attend if unwell. \nSpeaker: \n  \nFrancesca Flynn \n\nTopic: \nBoorYul-Bah-Bilya (Mandoon Bilya – Helena River) \n \nLess than 1% of WA’s major rivers are in pristine or near-pristine condition\, and despite the good work of many\, river health continues to decline. To have a realistic chance of restoring river health\, new thinking and approaches are urgently needed. BoorYul-Bah-Bilya (BBB) is an exciting initiative launched in 2024 by Bibbul Ngarma Aboriginal Association that aims to address declining river health through creation of a new type of community catchment plan. \n  \nBBB is the first program of its kind to consider environmental\, social\, cultural and economic factors in one integrated plan\, allowing a better balance between the many values of rivers. Its grassroots approach ensures local knowledge is embedded throughout and enables community\, residents\, businesses\, schools and government to contribute towards the future vision. \n  \nThe first BBB plan focuses on the Mandoon Bilya\, or Helena River\, which flows from Ballardong Country near York and Beverley\, through Mundaring and Kalamunda in the Perth Hills\, and down into Whadjuk Country through Midland\, before joining the Derbarl Yerrigan (Swan River) in Guildford. However\, BNAA hope to create widespread transformative change by creating a transferable model that can be applied to any river. The first BBB plan will be released to coincide with the 2029 Perth Bicentenary\, an important milestone to consider the impact of colonisation on our waterways and how we collectively address the challenges of urbanisation and a drying climate. \n  \nThe presentation will be given by BNAA Executive Director\, Francesca Flynn\, an environmental scientist and local hills resident who is passionate about creating a better future for Australian rivers. For more information\, visit www.bibbul.org \nPlus: \n\nKids’ talk – one of your younger members will be giving a 5 minutes kids’ talk.\nBoffins talk – A member will give an 8 minutes Boffins’ talk. Rachel and Mike will give a talk on Ospreys. \n“Nature road show”. Members and visitors are encouraged to bring items to place on the display table or to send photographs to the MC in advance\, e.g. a sample flower\, an insect\, and so on – anything of natural history interest that has legally been obtained. If we have time\, one of our experts will identify them or briefly talk about them\, or the person bringing them can talk about where they saw it\, etc. Photographs are particularly welcome\, as everyone can see them. If you wish to show a photograph please email it\, no later than the Wednesday before the meeting\, to our MC for this night\, and she/he will include it on her PowerPoint slides. We have a dedicated email for this purpose” natclub@webco.com.au\nThing of the month / Things coming up next month: These two presentations are about things in nature happening this month and things coming up\, so if you have any photos or information\, send them to: natclub@webco.com.au\nDoor prizes: You could also be the lucky winner of a door prize.

SUMMARY:NSB Golly Walk: Lake Gnangara
DESCRIPTION:  \nLake Gnangara is the most southerly of the Wanneroo wetlands. The surrounding terrain consists of low dunes and undulating sand plains. Over the last few decades\, extraction of water from the Gnangara Mound has resulted in a significant reduction of the areal extent of the lake. \nOur walk will take us along the eastern side where we will walk through Banksia Woodland and return beside Fringing Melaleuca Wetlands. Hopefully we will find orchids in flower and with the recent rain there is water in the lake and waterfowl. \nApprox 3km return. \nIf time permits we will visit nearby Tuscan Park\, a little hidden gem as the riparian vegetation is quite dense. Rainbow Bee Eaters nest there in summer and some amazing orchids can be found over spring. \nMeet:   Lake Gnangara Car Park at the northern end of Alexander Drive\, 400m from turn off at Gnangara Road. \nBring:  Comfortable footwear and clothes suitable for the weather.  Note there are no toilets on site. Bring morning tea. \nPhoto: Lake Gnangara 17 June 2025. Sasha Poli.
