Specifically\, the Floodplain ecology.\n\nThe course aims to give participants:\n\na better understanding of the geomorphological\, hydrological and ecological processes of floodplain ecosystems;\nan understanding of flooding dynamics and the impact of human use on this process\, past and present\nprovide examples of practical skills in observation\, description\, survey/assessment\, analysis\, interpretation\, and assessment\, of geomorphological features\, hydrological regimes\, soils and flora and fauna on floodplains.\n\nThe focus of the course will be on the floodplains of the Goulburn – Murray system in the region of Barmah. \nInstructors & presenters:\n\nKeith Ward is a wetland ecologist whose main areas of research have been the vegetation\, waterbirds and frogs of Barmah-Millewa Forest and fish and water bugs of the Hattah Lakes system near Mildura.\nNeville Rosengren has surveyed the geomorphology and geology of conservation sites in most parts of Victoria. He is particularly interested in the modes and dynamics of landscape evolution.\nDamien Cook is a restoration ecologist with a keen interest in plant and frog taxonomy\, wetland ecology and the processes which lead to the degradation of natural ecosystems and how these can be reversed. He has studied natural history for over 25 years and has worked as an ecologist\, project manager and environmental educator for the last 20 years.\nSteve Wilson is Land and Biodiversity Manager at the Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority.

Specifically\, the Floodplain ecology.\n\nCourse aims to give participants:\n\na better understanding of the geomorphological\, hydrological and ecological processes of floodplain ecosystems;\nan understanding of flooding dynamics and the impact of human use on this process\, past and present\nprovide examples of practical skills in observation\, description\, survey/assessment\, analysis\, interpretation\, and assessment\, of geomorphological features\, hydrological regimes\, soils and flora and fauna on floodplains.\n\nThe focus of the course will be on the floodplains of the Goulburn – Murray system in the region of Barmah. \nInstructors & presenters\n\nKeith Ward is a wetland ecologist whose main areas of research have been the vegetation\, waterbirds and frogs of Barmah-Millewa Forest and fish and water bugs of the Hattah Lakes system near Mildura.\nNeville Rosengren has surveyed the geomorphology and geology of conservation sites in most parts of Victoria.

SUMMARY:World Soil Day
DESCRIPTION:Did you know?\n\n\nIt can take up to 1\,000 years to produce just 2-3cm of soil.\nOver 33% of the Earth’s soils are already degraded and 90% could become degraded by 2050.\nSoil erosion can lead up to a 50% loss in crop yields.\n\n\n\nStop Soil Erosion\, Save Our Future\nEvery 5 seconds\, the equivalent of one soccer field of soil is eroded. This alarming fact reaffirms the need to raise awareness through World Soil Day of this growing problem\, as the Earth’s population continues to expand. \nThis year\, by addressing the increasing challenges of soil management\, the FAO campaign “Stop soil erosion\, Save our future” aims to raise awareness of the importance of sustaining healthy ecosystems and human well-being. By encouraging people around the world to engage in proactively improving soil health\, the campaign also aims to raise the profile of healthy soil. If we do not act soon\, erosion will; the fertility of soil will continue to be adversely affected at an alarming rate\, threatening global food supplies and food safety. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Landcare Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:Landcare Week 2020 \nGet connected with the environment in your local community \nThe annual Landcare Week campaign celebrates and acknowledges the thousands of Landcare networks and groups\, facilitators\, and other environmental care community groups\, and volunteers across Australia working on conservation and sustainable land management activities in their local area. \nConnecting with nature improves your mental health and connection to place. With Australians having experienced drought\, bushfires\, and a global pandemic\, people need social connections and to get outdoors. \nLandcare is about the partnerships created by local communities to restore and protect their local environment on behalf of the community. \nYou can support your local group activities and meet other people who have a shared vision for conservation and sustainable land management. No matter where you live there is a group near you managing a local environmental issue. \nWith the impacts of a changing climate\, drought and biodiversity loss\, Australia needs Landcare now more than ever. Speak to your local group about their events and if there are any restrictions due to COVID-19. \nYou can volunteer in a community event or get more involved to support the group with your skills or in kind support\, or a donation. \nClick the link below if you would like to get involved \nhttps://landcareaustralia.org.au/landcareweek2020/
