Here are some pics from Judy Stickland of the latest Habitat Restoration activity at our precious Edwards Point Reserve. Be advised there are some pictures of some very evil w**ds and one of our members under attack from a very nasty polygala. However, our brave ranger came to the rescue along with our other fabulous volunteers.

🐸 Calling all frog lovers and citizen scientists! 🐸

We’re looking for volunteers to join a new Frog Monitoring Program at Murrk Ngubitj Yarram Yaluk!

The program will help us build a long-term understanding of the frogs living across the site, including which species are present, how abundant they are, and how frog populations change across different years and environmental conditions.
By taking part, you’ll help collect valuable data that will contribute to our understanding of the health and condition of the different wetland habitats at MNYY. 🌿🐸

What’s involved?
🔹 1 × Frog Monitoring Training & Field Day
🔹 Monthly monitoring sessions from November – April
🔹 Learning how to identify and monitor local frog species
🔹 Contributing to an ongoing community citizen science program
No previous frog monitoring experience is required. Just an interest in frogs, nature and contributing to local environmental research!

📅 Expressions of interest close Wednesday 4 November
Interested in getting involved?

📧 Email [email protected] with your name and contact details and we’ll be in touch with further program information.

Thank you for the opportunity to discover more about the frogs of Murrk Ngubitj Yarram Yaluk! 🐸

🌳 On Wednesday 11 November, 7pm - 8:30pm join us for a guided nature walk at ‘Murrk Ngubitj Yarram Yaluk’ - in Wadawurrung language ‘head waters of the ever-flowing creek’, corner of Swan Bay Rd and Grubb Rd, Wallington.
🦆 This former Barwon Water reservoir has surprising biodiversity gems, with naturally regenerating native plants and some very special bird life.
🐸 It also has the South African w**d orchid, which the Friends Group have been w**ding. Come and get your eye in for w**d orchids, native plants and birds and hear the sounds of 100s of frogs calling.
Wear long sleeved shirts, long pants and covered shoes to protect against mozzies and other bities. All welcome.
