@timbawden @drmparrott @ZoosVictoria Your beautiful photos featured 👌

@drmparrott @ZoosVictoria Would have liked to hear that one

@luketkelly @UniMelb @gliderhabitat Amazing pocket in there. I wonder what the record density for Gg’s is on a similar distance? That would be right up there! There was a proposed logging coupe in that area #sigh#

@sarahrees I did cringe when I heard that. Considering how many panels, boards, meetings, conferences, etc etc have you given your time to in order to effect change, not just stop/shutdown rhetoric! YEARS of talking & listening

For the record, I work on forest matters every single day, I work to advance genuinely sustainable forestry and vital conservation measures and I’m sick of being referred to as ‘anti-logging’, I advocate for good forestry and forest policy. That’s all.

@EuanRitchie1 @ConversationEDU We probably need to change an old saying, hey? Euan, you’re one in a billion mate

You are now one of 8 billion humans alive today. Let's talk overpopulation – and why low income countries aren't the issue theconversation.com/you-are-now-on… via @ConversationEDU

@bradsey Being a new dad, I can’t believe you forgot ‘Baby’!!

Dear @AlboMP & @Tanya_Plibersek, Australia's > 2000 threatened species & ecological communities would like to know why there's $11.6B for fossil fuel subsidies, > $240B for stage 3 tax cuts, but just $225 million for the Saving Native Species program? theconversation.com/labors-plan-to…

.@MegCEvans (@UNSWCanberra @PSResearchG), @YungEnChee1 (@The_WERG) and me (@DeakinCIE @deakinresearch @SSNDeakin) have some things to say about Labor's Threatened Species Action Plan. theconversation.com/labors-plan-to…

A PhD opportunity exists in my lab to work on squirrel gliders in the Albury-Wodonga region. Generous top up scholarship and industry support. Contact details below. Please RT

@EuanRitchie1 Totally agree! Supposed to be a fun celebration of species and educational to boot…. I’ve been disheartened by some of the weird barracking and booing 🤷‍♂️

Championing your favourite species is a bit of fun and can be useful for raising awareness. Personally attacking others is not cool, and doesn’t aid species conservation. Be fun and useful.

@RichardMcLellan @jones_ann @ABCTV @ABCiview Was a good celebration of them all 👍

I can’t wait for tonight’s final episode of #AustraliasFavouriteTree with @jones_ann & Paul West on #Catalyst @ABCTV. “They’re on a mission to find candidates of Australia's oldest, largest & most iconic trees from QLD, ACT, WA & NSW” Tonight @ 8.30pm or later on @ABCiview

This absolute whopper of a Mountain Ash. It’s right near where I recorded a dawn chorus for A NEW EPISODE OF NATURE TRACK. No human voices, no music, just the sounds of a forest of giants buff.ly/3pwf76t

@BiodiversityGuy 100 years ago we did the same course. Some things lacking that would’ve helped big time were super practical things: 4x4 course, first aid, field schedule planning…. I spend more time driving than anything else!! Starting bird call ID in first year and cont all thru….?

@BiodiversityGuy I’ll ghost write yours for a small fee….?

@itsnotfairman @mickresearch @EuanRitchie1 Rolls eyes

@mickresearch @EuanRitchie1 Key word in that sentence really is "become"

Any one got any tips what the mountain ash of the mammal world is?

@sarahrees Wow

And here is Mr Blackwood’s response. Extraordinary cdn.fbsbx.com/v/t59.2708-21/…

This is rare. Today a report from the Privileges Committee on a Person referred to in the Legislative Assembly - Professor David Lindenmayer AO, was tabled in the Legislative Assembly.   Correcting Mr Gary Blackwood’s false claims #springst parliament.vic.gov.au/file_uploads/L…

@BiodiversityGuy Insane that he stayed in Canberra! Running that far, he could’ve made it to the Yarra valley!!

ALERT: VicForests has begun logging among the old growth ash forests of Mt Monda #Toolangi Ever driven through the old growth ash forests on Monda Rd? Ever hiked Tanglefoot Loop? If so, you will have seen the towering Mountain Ash trees on the mountain, many 100s years old. 1/6🧵

@itsnotfairman @wtb_Michael @speechleyish @DrNatOsborne @freyamthomas First green things I saw on high sev burnt sites were fern fronds! Amazing things

@wtb_Michael @speechleyish @DrNatOsborne @freyamthomas assuming severe fire, in wet forest: overstorey ash eucalypt seedlings will establish abundantly, dominant tall shrubs will probably be acacia dealbata and pomaderris aspera. surviving resprouting plants will resestablish, eg olearia argophylla.

@ozdendro @itsnotfairman @wtb_Michael @speechleyish @DrNatOsborne @freyamthomas @TACAGEM @EcologyElle Yes Dryopoa dives was amazing. Almost non existent on our (~200) sites pre fire, then found at every burnt site after. It’s still around if it has enough light
