    Managing Bird Damage Managing Bird Managing Bird Damage Bird damage is a significant problem in Australia with total to Fruit and Other Horticultural Crops damage to horticultural production estimated at nearly $300 million annually. Over 60 bird species are known to damage horticultural crops. These species possess marked differences in feeding strategies and movement patterns which influence the nature, timing and severity of the damage they cause. Reducing bird damage is difficult because of the to Fruit and Other Horticultural Crops Fruit and Other Horticultural to unpredictability of damage from year to year and a lack of information about the cost-effectiveness of commonly used management practices. Growers therefore need information on how to better predict patterns of bird movement and abundance, and simple techniques to estimate the extent of damage to guide future management investment. This book promotes the adoption of a more strategic approach to bird management including use of better techniques to reduce damage and increased cooperation between neighbours.

This list has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. The list was produced using the AustralianAustralian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. For each family of plant and animal covered by ANHAT (Appendix 1), this document gives the number of species in the country and how many of them are found in the region. It also identifies species listed as Vulnerable, Critically Endangered, Endangered or Conservation Dependent under the EPBC Act. A biodiversity summary for this region is also available. For more information please see: www.environment.gov.au/heritage/anhat/index.html Limitations • ANHAT currently contains information on the distribution of over 30,000 Australian taxa. This includes all mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and fish, 137 families of vascular plants (over 15,000 species) and a range of invertebrate groups.

We have just released an Australian curriculum aligned ‘Love Food? Love Bees!’ Food Security and Sustainable Agriculture -Years 9 & 10 curriculum with Cool Australia which focuses on the importance of sustainable agriculture for healthy and productive soils which in turn support healthy plants, pollinator health and the overall health of the ecosystem. We teamed up with Cool Australia in 2016 to create the ‘Love Food? Love Bees!’ Year 5/6 curriculum which explores the importance of bees for much of our food, threats to bees and ways students can take bee friendly action in their community. This has been very successful and reached over 55,000 Australian students within a year of its release. As a part of our Vision for ACT for Bees we are working towards the ACT becoming a ‘Bee Friendly’ Territory by 2020, where government, education, business and community practices and behaviours support and encourage healthy bees.

    (SCVWD) Landscape Rebate Program Qualifying Plant List. The

    Santa Clara Valley Water District Landscape Rebate Program Qualifying Plant List Following is the current Santa Clara Valley Water District (SCVWD) Landscape Rebate Program Qualifying Plant List. The list is based on the WUCOLS IV 2014 Edition, published by the University of California Cooperative Extension and the California Department of Water Resources, as well as input from several botanists that work in Santa Clara County. WUCOLS stands for Water Use Classification of Landscape Species, and is a guide that provides evaluated water needs for more than 3,700 plant species in California. All of the plants on the Landscape Rebate Program (LRP) Qualifying Plant List are considered low or very low water using plants in Region 1 according to the WUCOLS guide. Highly invasive plants have been removed from the list. Customers are required to select plants from the following plant list in order to meet the minimum 50% plant coverage requirement for the Landscape Rebate Program. Plant coverage values are calculated based on the mature size of the plant. The value is obtained by determining the area of a circle using the plant spread or width as the diameter. To find the area of a circle, square the diameter and multiply by .7854. Squaring the diameter means multiplying the diameter by itself. For example, a plant with a 5 foot spread would be calculated as follows: .7854 x 5 ft diameter x 5 ft diameter = 20 sq ft (values are rounded to the nearest whole number). The coverage values have been predetermined for most of the plants listed on the LRP Qualifying Plant List.
