Using decades of data on more than sixty birds, BirdCast indicates which birds may live in woodlands on your farm in spring and demonstrates the potential for biodiversity in a range of scenarios.

]]> BirdCast is optimised for use on a tablet in the field, but will also work on a desktop or laptop.

The bird occupancy estimates created by BirdCast are suitable for remnant box-gum grassy woodland or planted eucalypt woodland on grazing or mixed farms in the NSW South West Slopes and parts of the Central West, Murray-Riverina and north east Victoria.

]]> Fallen timber and dead trees are essential to healthy, functioning ecosystems. They provide refuge, shelter and resources for plants and animals. This shelter is particularly important for animals during fire and to support ecosystem recovery after fire.

]]> The Ten Ways booklet highlights how improving the management of natural assets on a farm can create new habitat for native wildlife, while supporting sustainable agriculture. The publication is underpinned by 20 years of long-term research into biodiversity on farms.

The booklet covers: paddock trees, waterways & wetlands, farm dams, native pastures, shelterbelts, creating connectivity, rocky outcrops, renmant vegetation, plantings, and farm planning.

Discover the often-overlooked beauty of Australia's woodlands and native plants and animals they support.

The post Woodlands: A disappearing landscape appeared first on ANU Sustainable Farms.

]]> Woodlands are distinguished from forests by the fact that their canopies do not touch, tree heights are usually lower and they usually have a grassy understorey. They support a fascinating and diverse array of birds, mammals, reptiles, frogs, invertebrates and plants, and have been under massive pressure from grazing and agriculture over the past 200 years. In many cases only small remnant patches of some types of woodland survive. Understanding and appreciating woodlands is an important way forward for promoting their sustainable management and conservation.

Woodlands: A Disappearing Landscape explains with lucid text and spectacular photographs the role that woodlands play in supporting a range of native plants and animals that has existed there for millions of years.

It is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding more about the woodland ecosystem that underpins the southeastern agricultural region of Australia.
