SUMMARY:Dragonfly biodiversity and wetland restoration by Belinda Robson.
DESCRIPTION:Dragonflies (Odonata) are some of the most aesthetically pleasing and most loved wetland insects\, yet we know very little about the ecology or biology of Australian species. There are more than 40 species found in southwestern Australia\, of which nearly half are endemic species\, and there are also endemic genera.  \n\n\n\n\nThis presentation will describe the southwest fauna and dragonfly and damselfly life cycles and report on recent research to understand patterns of species diversity in urban (Perth) wetlands to identify the qualities of wetlands needed to maximise their diversity.  \n\n\n\nBelinda is an Associate Professor at Murdoch University. She has been working on the effects of climate change on biodiversity\, especially the effects of climatic drying and is working on new ways to manage ecosystems to sustain freshwater biodiversity as the climate continues to dry.

SUMMARY:Citizen Science is for everyone! - using iNaturalist to advance knowledge of our environment
DESCRIPTION:Do you want to add to the stock of knowledge of our wonderful local environment? Join the ‘citizen scientist’ movement and learn to use iNaturalist! \nIn this digital era\, we know that there are now better ways to share our nature observations than writing them down and filing the lists in a cupboard!  Most of us use our mobile phone to snap images of plants and animals. It is but a small step to upload them to the internet database iNaturalist Australia so the wider public (including scientists) can benefit from our observations. \nThe Club has had projects on the iNaturalist Australia since 2020\, as a way to share our observations with the wider community. We do this partly to discuss what we have observed\, partly to get expert opinions on identification\, and ultimately to contribute to the Atlas of Living Australia. \nIn this workshop you will learn from our experts how to set up the iNaturalist app on your phone and how to use it on your laptop. You will also learn how to make observations and how to search iNaturalist to identify what you’ve observed. \nPlease bring your smartphone and/or laptop / tablet and be knowledgeable of passwords to enable you to download from the app store (if not done before the workshop).

SUMMARY:Long Range Excursion - Westonia
DESCRIPTION:The Club has been invited to visit the property of Bush Blocks Guardians in Westonia adjacent to Chiddarcooping Nature Reserve (western side). \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThere are a wide variety of landscapes: large granite outcrops and slabs with shallow gnammas\, large tors and a very unique and extensive mini mogote field; a long and high breakaway with many caves and ochre patches; several water courses set in a wide variety of vegetation types.  \n\n\n\n(Photo by Peter Ewing). \n\n\n\n\nThere are active malleefowl nests and we can visit a range of Aboriginal heritage stone placements and a dolerite dyke tool-making site. We will also learn about the revegetation progress and methods being used\, about some of the checkered history of the property’s owners and use\, about the long-term wildlife monitoring\, and we will go for walks on the property\, and drives/walks in Chiddarcooping Nature Reserve. \n\n\n\nOther activities anticipated are carrying out flora surveys and spending a couple of days at Baladjie Rock. \n\n\n\n\n\nIf you are interested in participating in the Long Range Excursion\, please RSVP as soon as possible below. For any questions\, contact Jolanda. Note that you need to be fully self-sufficient for this excursion.
