‼️An Australia First - Green Roof Demonstration (2012)
Had an absolute pleasure visiting @unimelb Burnley campus during the week and getting a tour.
The vegetation layer consists of over 200 different plant species & cultivars, with approximately 3000 plants. The Demonstration Green Roof is 166 m2

Learned so much about Native Exoneura Bees today with Julian Brown at the @unimelb Burnley Campus as a part of their reed bee relocation program to look into pollination of berries.
Turns out Reed bees are really cool.

“I love the name murnong as the murn meaning hand and the roots when harvested look like our fingers.
They taste delicious like parsnip as I learnt whilst visiting 'Yumbarra' where I had the opportunity to eat them in a curry.”

Trust none other than Michael-Shawn Fletcher to have the most powerful and awakening talk at #ESAus2024
Key ideas:
-we need to see ourselves (humans) as a part of the environment for science
-bushfire problems are lack of culture not a CC problem
-we need to stop ignoring TO fire knowledge

Favourite concept so far at @ecolsocaus.bsky.social #ESaus2024. @dieterhochuli.bsky.social discussing the need to change our typical perceptions of species (pictured) to not look past the value of common species, particularly when looking at nature in urban environments 👏🏻

Here’s my Do ✅ and Don’t ❌ of making a Bee Hotel
✅Do:
Use drill bits between 3-10mm
Use bamboo/pithy stems.
Face north-east for morning sun
Keep close to flowering plants
🚫 Don’t:
Use plastic or metal
Use treated wood
Buy imported bee hotels

Can be very hard to distinguish with the naked eye too, biggest tip is that the actual wasps will fold the wings in half long ways.
Wasp mimic bees also make the coolest nest entrances you’ll ever see 🤯
