🐸Happy World Frog Day.🐸
Today is a global awareness day dedicated to frogs and other amphibians. It highlights their vital role in ecosystems—such as controlling insect populations—while also raising awareness of the major threats they face, including habitat loss, pollution, climate change, and disease.
The most common frog our teams encounter in the field is the Eastern Dwarf Tree Frog, a small, delicate species native to eastern Australia. It is commonly found around wetlands, ponds, and even suburban gardens, especially in the Sydney area.

Meet Homalanthus populifolius — the elegant Bleeding Heart Tree. 🌿❤️

Native to eastern Australia, this rainforest and moist gully dweller is known for its lush, delicate heart-shaped foliage. While not the brightest flower showstopper, its calming green tones and graceful form add quiet beauty to our bushlands. As its foliage ages, its green leaves can flush deep red, burgundy, or copper tones.❤️
