The Friends of Shenton Bushland and the City of Nedlands have obtained funding to restore a degraded area in the bushland to provide food and habitat for Cockatoos in the Perth area.

Living plants counted October 2015: 1720 (83% survival)
Dead plants counted October 2015: 146
Assumed dead plants not counted October 2015: 206

Short Winter
Winter has vanished so quickly ... now we seem to be heading into summer already!
Last weekend of collecting seeds for the Perth Banksia Woodland Community Restoration Grant
Starting to weed Albucca / Ixia along the Defence Department fence along the western boundary.
There was quite a bit of Albucca or Ixia - will take a few weeks.
In September we began working on Geraldton Carnation Weed which was a bit delayed by the long autumn.
End of September - began monitoring the Banksia Woodlands Project planting area ...

Long Autumn
We have had a long autumn this year ... winter only arrived this week ... we have been having mainly sunny days and cool mornings with only occasional showers until now. Life goes on in the bushland despite the long autumn, with the winter weeds beginning to emerge and wildflowers such as hovea coming out in flower.
Part of the reason for the long delay in posting is that Google has done something to the Blogger Platform which makes it very difficult to make posts ... when I try to edit the HTML the cursor disappears ... I discovered that I can get it back by reloading the page ... I wish Google would not keep making changes that make it harder to use their system ... I may need to change to another service...
