Over the past 2 weeks, we have been part of a survey of urban wildlife. We don't yet know the whole of Canberra results but we can share how photos of the surveyors (Us AKA w**ders and planters) and a link to photos of some of the wonderful things that live in the Canberra open space network.

Always great range of plants in good condition. Don't know if there is enough rain for them, but we can hope.

Location: Australian National Botanic Gardens, Southern Car Park. An indicative list of plants that will be available at the sale can be downloaded below.

The first time we've noticed a pair of butcher birds on a Wednesday morning.

THis week's villains are the thriving w**ds still waiting for us every Wednesday. One particular batch of sticky w**d had nearly completely covered a neat little correa. When I eventually removed it all I reckon it was more than 1kg of vegetation on its own.

Two ACT government consultations have the potential to shape the Mawson environment.
Mawson is included in the Athllon Precinct of the Southern Gateway study area. The draft Southern Gateway Planning and Design Framework is open for engagement at https://yoursayconversations.act.gov.au/southerngatewaycorridor. In addition, the ACT Government has committed to providing a second supermarket in Mawson. For more about that project see, https://yoursayconversations.act.gov.au/mawson-group-centre.

Plenty of sticky w**d & love grass to deal with but found some self sown native raspberry, kangaroo apples & yellow buttons.

Plenty of w**ding again today. This one caught my attention, it had managed to grow through a roll of bark! Leaves at one end & roots at the other!
