BUTTERFLIES, BEES & BUGS

BUTTERFLIES The importance of the insect kingdom to our ecosystems cannot be over-emphasized. If we are to live in holistically with our environment, we rely on our insect friends to maintain balance. Butterflies are beautiful and easy to love, but even less...

Woodlands are areas of trees which are generally no more than fifty meters high, and the tree canopies do not meet.

In this way, woodlands differ from denser forest or rainforest areas because of the wider spacing of their trees.

The wider spacing results in more light on the ground, which increases the number of plant species and that in turn has the potential to support the biodiversity of animals, insects and reptiles.

Unfortunately, the decline in NSW native woodlands has become critical, and as a result the number of vulnerable, threatened, endangered and extinct species is rapidly growing.
