PINEOSAURA PRESERVED
Dramatic efforts were made to
save the 200 or so wild Wollemi
pines [Wollemia nobilis]
growing in a gorge in the Blue
Mountains.
Fire retardant and water was
dropped from helicopters into
the gorge and hoses were laid
to keep the undergrowth wet
where the trees grow. Some
were charred, most survived
and being closely watched to
see how they respond to fire
damage.
Numerous specimens are now in cultivation across the world, which should protect the species if it becomes lost in the wild.
Blue tigers
observed across
the Range.
Thank you Dave Coffey
Bankia robur, a local
species recorded in the
Sunshine Coast region
wallum.
LEARNING TO LOVE THE SIMPLE
FLOWERS
Research has shown that the simple smaller
flowering varieties of the species can
handle extreme conditions better than the
flamboyant, complex flowering types.
The results suggest that it does not lie in whether it is native of a hybrid, it is in the amount of energy a plant puts into producing flowers.
Plant breeders are encouraged to produce hybrids that are more resilient for climate extremes.
OLD PAIRS OF SPECTACLES: Thank you from Lions – many
donations received. All are appreciated. I f you have any
that you no longer require, Lions is happy to take them off your
hands. They are recycled to needy communities. Glasses can be
left at the Mapleton Community Library. Glasses cases are not
required.
RECYCLING IN MAPLETON
The Mapleton Bowls Club is collecting bottles and cans with the refunds going to sponsor an event at the Club. There is a convenient collection point which is a wheelie bin placed at the foot of the entry stairs. This bin can be distinguished from others as it has a convenient round hole in its roof where you can pop-in the recycle items. QLD container refund scheme in the school car park. All proceeds go to the Mapleton State School P&C. All your donations would be gratefully received and will go towards resources for our school and students. Mapleton Men’s Shed is also a receiving depot for recycling cans and bottles. These may be left in the sulo bins in front of the storage shed in Mapleton Forest Drive.
