𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐧𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐚𝐭𝐬 - hollow logs provide important shelter and food sources for ground-dwelling wildlife, including numbats and through our Numbat Neighbourhood Project, we have been able to relocate unwanted hollow logs from a farmland fence line into a wildlife corridor connecting two sections of Dryandra Woodland National Park, enhancing habitat and providing valuable refuge for numbats.

Hollow logs also provide a source of food for invertebrate decomposers, such as termites, who then themselves provide food for numbats and echidnas. The next step in improving habitat at this site will be planting local trees and shrubs to further increase shelter and habitat for numbats and other native fauna.

The logs moved came from trees that were long dead and would no longer be a viable host for the introduced Polyphagous Shot-Hole Borer (PSHB). The relocation site is also well outside the current PSHB quarantine area. However, it is always important to stay informed when moving vegetation. For more information, visit the DPIRD website:

Australian farmers now have access to real-time insights into the nitrogen fertiliser supply chain, thanks to a new tracker developed by Episode 3.

Instead of relying on data that is months old, the dynamic tracker updates as vessels move through the supply chain, providing timely intelligence to help inform industry decisions.

Analysts Andrew Whitelaw and Matt Dalgleish will provide regular updates and commentary to keep the sector informed.

𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐁𝐞𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐲 - a chance to celebrate the incredible native bees that call Western Australia home.

Hundreds of native bee species live across our region - especially in our Banksia and Tuart Woodlands, playing a vital role in pollination and healthy ecosystems. Unlike European honey bees, many native bees are solitary and rely on local bushland and backyard habitat to survive.

Native bees are facing increasing threats from habitat loss, pesticides, weeds and competition from feral honey bee hives - but small actions can make a big difference:

- Plant local native species
- Protect bushland habitat
- Provide water and nesting spaces
- Avoid pesticides where possible

Healthy native bee populations are a sign of healthy ecosystems. This World Bee Day, keep an eye out for the amazing diversity buzzing around your garden and local bushland.

A damp morning for the team doing pre-revegetation NVIS (National Vegetation Information System) photo monitoring but the friendly wildlife are out enjoying the change in weather and offering their encouragement. Love a spoony!

This monitoring will show the change from before we start our restoration works along the Serpentine River.
