SUMMARY:Roz Hart on Fungi For Land
DESCRIPTION:We’re only just beginning to understand the complex role fungi play in our unique landscapes. But the more we learn\, the more we understand just how dependent we are on fungal diversity. \n\n\n\nRoz will talk about recent advances to assist Citizen Scientists to gain a better understanding of the fungi that we coexist with. Fungi do not just exist for us to eat! \n\n\n\nIt makes a difference if we understand what fungi do for our ecosystems and how land managers of all walks of life can work together with fungi. This gives us a better handle on what fungi can do for us as well as what we can do for them. \n\n\n\n\n\nRoz Hart and Sapphire McMullan Fisher have set up Fungi4Land\, working with Australian mycologists to gather and present in an understandable and workable format\, a guide to get a better understanding of how effective partnerships with local land managers\, flora and fauna can work in favour of the environment we live in.

SUMMARY:Black Cockatoo Conservation Centre Walk – Kaarakin\, Martin
DESCRIPTION:🖤 Black Cockatoo Conservation Centre Walk – Kaarakin\, Martin\n\nplease RSVP or scroll down to pay \n\nJoin members of the Darling Range Branch as we visit the Black Cockatoo Conservation Centre at Kaarakin plays a vital role in protecting some of Western Australia’s most iconic and endangered wildlife. Located in the Perth Hills\, the Centre is dedicated to the rescue\, rehabilitation\, and conservation of black cockatoos and other native species impacted by climate change\, habitat loss\, and urban development. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4\n\n\n\nVolunteers at the Centre currently care for around 200 animals\, many of which would otherwise be at serious risk of injury\, displacement\, or extinction. These passionate volunteers work year-round to provide expert care\, safe rehabilitation\, and long-term conservation solutions for wildlife that have lost their natural homes. \nDuring this guided walk\, participants will learn how the Centre supports black cockatoos by recreating and protecting essential nesting\, foraging\, and roosting sites—critical habitats that have been severely reduced or degraded over recent decades due to urban sprawl and land clearing. The walk offers valuable insight into the daily work of the volunteers and the innovative strategies being used to help these birds survive and thrive. \nHuman activity has had a massive and detrimental impact on black cockatoo populations in recent decades. Habitat loss and fragmentation remain the greatest threats facing all three species of black cockatoos in south-west Western Australia. This event provides an opportunity to better understand these challenges\, learn what is being done to address them\, and discover how individuals and communities can contribute to conservation efforts. \n✨ A meaningful and educational experience for nature lovers\, conservation supporters\, and anyone passionate about protecting Western Australia’s unique wildlife \nRSVP booking is essential as payment will be required prior to the visit – $25 per guest – Naturalist Club Inc Darling Range\, BSB 633-000 number 209590967 or ring the office for Card Payment \nBranch is subsidising members\, please contact 0402272868  re:  payment or difficulties with bank account

SUMMARY:Amanda Bourne - 10 species in 10 years: a review of the Mt Gibson mammal restoration project 
DESCRIPTION:This talk to the main branch of the WA Naturalists’ Club will be given by Amanda Bourne who leads the conservation science program on four Australian Wildlife Conservancy wildlife sanctuaries in Western Australia. She will talk about the Mt Gibson Mammal Restoration Project\, which is on Badimia Country. \n\n\n\nThe team at Mt Gibson recently celebrated a significant conservation milestone\, with the release of the tenth locally-extinct mammal species\, the Western Quoll\, or Chuditch. Of the other nine species released during the past ten years\, both inside and outside a 7\,828 hectare feral predator-proof fenced area\, most are showing good signs of long-term viability. Amanda will give an overview of the field programs at Mt Gibson and discuss the opportunities and challenges associated with large\, complex\, landscape-scale conservation and restoration programs. \n\n\n\nIn her work\, Amanda coordinates a team of field-based ecologists conducting monitoring\, research\, animal translocations\, and strategic planning. She has a strong focus on evidence-based decision-making in biodiversity conservation. \n\n\n\n\nWestern Quoll. Photo by Robin Sinclair of the Australian Wildlife Conservancy.

SUMMARY:DRB Presents: Alex George talks about Autumn in the bush
DESCRIPTION:DRB Presents: Alex George talks about Autumn in the bush\n\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.\n\n\nSpeaker:\n\n\nAlex George from Murdoch University. Alex George worked as a botanist at the Western Australian Herbarium for 21 years\, then edited the Flora of Australia based in Canberra for 12 years. Returning to Perth\, he did consulting work for some years but now enjoys the freedom of doing his own research and writing on various botanical projects. He was twice the Australian Botanical Liaison Officer at the Royal Botanic Gardens\, Kew. Besides many books that he has edited and indexed\, he has written 17 books (some with joint authors) and published more than 500 scientific papers and articles for newsletters.\n\nTopic:\n\n\nThis talk will discuss what may be seen among our wildflowers at a season when few people venture out. And there is much to look at. During the dry summer\, some plants survive by reducing their internal activity\, shown by changes in foliage colour that can be very striking as it intensifies into autumn. Then\, within a few days of the first winter rains\, the same leaves revert to green and resume activity. Interestingly\, there are some plants that flower in autumn\, including Banksias – there are more of these to be seen in autumn than at any other season. We can also observe the first stages of how wildflowers respond to the bushfires that we know\, from the plants’ behaviour\, have been part of the natural environment here for millions of years.\n\n\n\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. Tony Start will give a talk on “Tsunamis”\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. We make sure there are prizes for both members and visitors.\nRaffle: We will have a great raffle  – please raid your piggy bank for a bit more cash\, $5 for 3 tickets.\n\nTime: Please come at 7.15pm or earlier if you wish\, for a 7.30pm start as we start promptly.

SUMMARY:DRB Presents: Paul H Brown on Dryandra Woodland National Park’s mammals and endemic south-west birds
DESCRIPTION:Paul H Brown will talk about Dryandra Woodland National Park’s mammals and endemic south-west birds \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: Paul H Brown is the author of DRYANDRA WOODLANDS NATIONAL PARK: Unique mammals and south-west endemic birds (2025) \n  \nTopic: \nYou are invited to a talk by this author on Narrogin’s Dryandra Woodland. The book describes Dryandra Woodland National Park’s 27 mammals\, 155 bush birds\, vegetation\, predator control and its fantastic landscapes. It is the first book on Dryandra’s wildlife since Vince Serventy’s 1970 book ‘Dryandra: The story of an Australian Forest’. \nJoin Paul for a chat on why he wrote the book and a few snippets from the book and the animals it describes. \nSouth-west Australia is a biodiversity hotspot. Clearing\, foxes\, feral cats and bushland degradation have devastated the mammals and birds of WA’s Wheatbelt region. However\, the 30\,000ha Dryandra Woodland is an oasis for many unique mammals that once occurred across the Australian continent\, and it protects a nearly complete list of native bush birds. You can see the Numbat\, Woylie\, elusive Echidna and Chuditch (Western Quoll) – maybe in a single visit. \nThe south-west is also renowned for its endemic bird species and subspecies. Paul has described and provided photos of 38 of these birds\, plus another seven threatened and ground nesting birds. He provides the full list of 155 birds found in Dryandra. \nPaul (0466 827 550; brownieph60@gmail.com ) can exchange your cash (or card) for a copy of his book – $50.00 each. \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 minute specialist subject talk.\n“Nature road show”.
