Help our wildlife in drought and fire with Water4Wildlife

January 13, 2020

Water4Wildlife is an initative of Greater Sydney Local Land Services, and Greater Sydney Landcare Network to help care for our native fauna – as droughts and fires cripple our landscape.

Water is the best thing you can do for our native animals. Stations placed with fresh water (with landowner permissions), 500m apart and suitable for small animals and large macropods alike will provide our native species with the best chance of survival.

Find all the tips and tricks below, and why feeding our local species won’t help them recover. Tag your watering points with #water4wildlife and #gsln.

Thanks to Peter Ridgeway for being the driving force behind this fantastic community initiative.

Revisiting our successful Eucalyptus ID workshop

August 6, 2019

By Clare Vernon, Coordinator
6 August 2019

Throwback to our Eucalyptus ID workshop back in July. What a success! With nearly 20 participants from water management, ecologists, bush regen professionals, and volunteers. Cumberland, lower Hawkesbury, lower Blue Mountains, and Nepean ecotypes. Thanks to Peter Mobbs, our incredible teacher, our participants and coordinator Clare for organizing. Diversity and hybridization in Sydney’s very own back yard never looked (or smelled) so good…

Like what you see? We’ve still got a few places available for our second workshop! Book in here.
