A great 3 days was had at the Murgon Grazing Clini A great 3 days was had at the Murgon Grazing Clinic with 45 graziers participating in the workshop, sharing experiences and learning thanks to Resource Consulting Services (RCS). Grazing charts, assessing feed in the paddock and working out how long it will last, building soil health, optimising pasture growth, designing paddocks and water points and boosting animal health were just some of the topics covered.⁠ ⁠ This workshop was partially funded by BMRG through funding from the Australian Government's #NationalLandcareProgram. ⁠ #NLP #Landcare #Grazing #Workshop⁠ @rcs_team
BMRG Staff, Abbie, Radka, Sam and Simon, recently BMRG Staff, Abbie, Radka, Sam and Simon, recently undertook fieldwork to assist with annual turtle nest counts. The team travelled along the coast of Deepwater National Park looking for evidence of nesting activity using #drone technology. The data collected was given to the local volunteer turtle group, #WreckRockTurtleCare, to include in their annual turtle statistics. Drones are a great way of quickly and efficiently capturing high-quality data in challenging landscapes. #RLP #WorldHeritageSites @ausgov
Today is World Wetlands Day, a day to celebrate we Today is World Wetlands Day, a day to celebrate wetlands and acknowledge the efforts to conserve this important ecosystem. ⁠ 2021 also marks the Ramsar 50th-anniversary celebrations! ⁠ ⁠ Wetlands provide a range of ecosystem services, from protecting coastal communities from storm surges to being vital requirements for the income of over 1 billion people, not to mention helping support 40% of the world’s species by providing crucial habitat for breeding and feeding. The Burnett Mary Region encompasses many wetland areas within its catchments, though the largest is the Ramsar internationally important Great Sandy Strait Wetland area, located between the western shores of K’gari and the Fraser Coast, covering over 830 square kilometers. This wetland system provides crucial habitat for water mice, dugongs, turtles, fishes, many species of migratory shorebirds and other important species.

Find a #Frog in February is a #CitizenScience proj Find a #Frog in February is a #CitizenScience project to provide information on the distribution of different frog species within the Mary River catchment. ⁠ ⁠ Frogs are excellent indicators of ecosystem and waterway health as they are incredibly sensitive to all aspects of their environment. This makes data on their distribution and populations not just important to observe the health of these species, but also the overall health of the environment they are found.⁠ ⁠ Find a Frog in February is led by the Mary River Catchment Coordinating Committee (MRCCC), read the directions and supporting information on the MRCCC website https://mrccc.org.au/frog-in-february/ – Happy Frogging! 🐸⁠ ⁠ @mrccc.org.au
