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.

]]> This webinar will outline the values of Endangered Ecological Communities (EECs) and ways to manage and enhance these valuable plant communities.

This webinar is part of the Central West Local Land Services ‘Biodiversity on Farm ‐ EEC’ project that involves working with landholders to improve the condition of EECs in the Central West and raise awareness of how best to manage remnant patches as part of farming enterprises.

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.
