Come along to the Old School at 1.15 pm on Sat 11 October to learn about local orchids and where to find them. This event includes a talk and walk, and due to the terrain at the reserve, is only suitable for ages 13+. We will have a shared afternoon tea so please bring a small plate of food. Drinks will be provided. We thank Yarra Ranges Council for the grant to fund this event. Bookings are required as numbers are limited. https://events.humanitix.com/badger-creek-orchids-talk-and-walk

This pesky insect hitched a ride to Tasmania in the 1950s and unfortunately it's here to stay, going on the move at this time each year.

Mt Toolebewong & District Landcare and Healesville Environment Watch members enjoyed a picnic last Friday evening in Bluegum Reserve, Badger Creek, to celebrate another proactive year caring for our environment. At dusk we surveyed hollow trees upstream and did a spotlight walk. We recorded 2 Common Brushtail Possums, 2 Sugar Gliders, 2 Boobook Owls, 1 Ghost Moth, several microbats and a White-striped Freetail Bat, Laughing Kookaburras, 1 Sambar Deer, Southern Brown Treefrogs and possibly a Striped Marsh Frog.
