Schools’ STEM Day was a great start to #scienceweek

We kicked off the Sapphire Coast Science Festival on Friday 13th August, and students from three local schools, enjoyed a feast of STEM and science fun. A strict COVID-19 plan was in place with 1 school only per session, and cleaning between sessions.  We were so strict we are not even going to put kids from different schools in the same photo gallery!

Sunday 22nd August – Wally and Minka Explore Tathra Wharf’s Biodiversity

Join us for a fascinating look at some of the hidden creatures attached to the pylons that support Tathra Wharf  – a treasure trove of biodiversity just hanging around!  This short webinar will focus on the concerns of Minka Waratah, Bega High captain and Bournda EEC Future Leaders Environment Award winner for 2021, who made an amazing short video for National Science Week in 2020 that has had over 40,000 views. Minka’s dad, Luke Hamilton has been helping her out, with the assistance of Wally, the Sapphire Coast Learning Community of Public Schools (SCLC)  submersible drone and Bournda EEC teacher Luke Brown.  Check out what they have found.

Joined by David Buckley (Project Manager – BVSC), Jayde Rankin and Will (Eden Dive), Libby Hepburn (Atlas of Life) , Luke Brown (BEEC), Wally couldn’t make it but sent some video.

MISSED THE BEE BABETTE?? WATCH NOW!

Monday 16th August – Dr Kit Prendergast will be talking about an exciting project for people in and around areas that have been impacted by fires to install bee hotels. These are artificial nesting substrates which provide much needed substrates for cavity-nesting bees to rear their offspring in when their natural substrates have been destroyed by fires. Learn more about bee hotels and how you can bee involved in saving the bees in this Australia-wide citizen science project.

Dr Kit Prendergast, the Bee Babette, native bee ecologist, committee member of the Australian Native Bee Association. Kit is a scientist researching how we can conserve native bees. She has also written a book ‘Creating a Haven for Native Bees’.

DID YOU MISS THE ATLAS OF LIFE AND iNATURALIST ? WATCH IT NOW!

Monday 16th August – The Atlas of Life in the Coastal Wilderness is celebrating its 10 years anniversary, so we will have a short trip down memory lane and share some of our favourite events and records. Thomas Mesaglio will give you a tour around our biodiversity mapping platform, the rapidly growing Australian iNaturalist – how you can use it and explore your favourite species, follow fine naturalists and friends and join or set up projects. We will finish with information about the Massive Great Southern BioBlitz which will take place across the Southern hemisphere from 22nd – 25th October 2021.

DID YOU MISS GLOSSIES IN THE MIST WITH THE GANG- GANG GANG? WATCH IT NOW!

Tuesday 17th May – To raise the conservation profile of threatened Glossy black- cockatoos (GBC), the Saving our Species, Glossies in the Mist project provided identification training to the Southern Highlands community and invited citizen scientists to submit sightings of GBCs.

Lauren Hook is an ecologist and Saving our Species, Threatened Species Officer working with the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment. 

Erna Llenore is a member of Birdlife Australia Southern Highlands and a volunteer with the Glossies in the Mist project. 

The Gang-gang has recently been nominated as a nationally endangered species with an average 69% decline in reporting rates over the last three decades. A citizen science project started in 2017 to find out more about Gang-gang nesting hollows as at that time, only two active hollows were known in the ACT. Much valuable information has been gathered and will inform conservation and nest-tube design.

Dr Michael Mulvaney is an ex-government ecologist who worked for ACT, NSW and the Commonwealth. 

Stacey Taylor is a Senior Conservation Officer with the ACT Government.

DID YOU MISS THE SCIENCE OF NEST-BOXES? WATCH IT NOW!

Wednesday 18th August – We want to help our birds and possums to find places to nest and raise their young as we know there are far too few suitable natural tree hollows for the animals who need homes. Nest boxes can provide a viable alternative to natural tree hollows for a range of wildlife. This session will share the research that has been undertaken to find out what is needed to build nestboxes that work – not too hot, the right sized holes, where and how to site them.

Courtney Fink-Downes and Susan Rhind from Eurobodalla Council share the results of their work. Andrew Morrison from Bega Valley Shire Council will talk about what we might do together here.

Susan provided these useful documents for partipants to download:

DID YOU MISS ECHIDNA CSI? WATCH IT NOW!

Wednesday 18th August – Dr Tahlia Perry (Uni Adelaide) will talk about this project and describe research on the echidnas of Kangaroo Island after the huge bushfires of 2020. Fascinating results show echidnas’ resilience and adaptability. You are invited to record echidnas in our region to gather more data to help understand more about their little known lifestyles.

DID YOU MISS FOREST MONITORING AND IMPROVEMENT? WATCH IT NOW!

Thursday 19th August

This project asks community members to work with scientists and natural resource managers to develop and analyse the data from research projects, and jointly agree plans and actions for restoration projects to improve the biodiversity, health and resilience of post bushfire forests. The Atlas of Life has been invited to partner with the Natural Resources Commission (NRC) to pilot the research methods and analysis in our area with our citizen science community, with a view to the project being enlarged to a much broader geographical and community reach for long-term monitoring and improvement actions. Libby Hepburn will talk about the background to the project and Cassie Thompson will share the details, aims timescale and resources of the project. If you would like to find out more about joining us to take part, you are asked to register your interest after the presentation.

Sadly the event has been postponed until further notice because of Covid restrictions which have been introduced, a new date will be set when current restrictions have been lifted.

Saturday 21 August – Life in our Cemeteries

This is the first of a series of mini-Bioblitzes which will visit each cemetery in Bega Valley Shire over the next 3 years. This is a community event where we will explore and record all the creatures and plants in and around the cemetery on the iNaturalist app . We will have expert naturalists and botanists who will help you find and identify creatures great and small and the plants that make this cemetary so special.

This project is a partnership between the Atlas of Life and Bega Valley Shire Council

POSTPONED DUE TO COVID-19

Sunday 22 August – Bega River and Wetlands Landcare (BRAWL) is hosting a family-friendly, community engagement event fusing bush tucker education and re-vegetation on the Bega River with indigenous plant species.

Participants will collect, soak & grind seeds on grinding stones, to cook up a damper for morning tea. This will be followed by a discussion on the agro-technologies used to grow commercial foods locally from indigenous plants, and tree planting of 100 seedlings. The activities will be led by an Indigenous educator.

There will also be an opportunity for participants to examine the impacts of smut fungus on weed species.  You can read about the partnership between BRAWL and CSIRO to introduce leaf-smut fungus to control Wandering Trad along the Bega River
