SUMMARY:Finding Our Local Eucalypts: Stories Written in the Landscape (WA)
DESCRIPTION:Landcare SJ invites community members\, landholders\, artists\, storytellers\, and nature lovers to take part in a creative\, participatory exploration of two rare local eucalypts: Eucalyptus marginata subsp. elegantella and Eucalyptus mundijongensis. \nThis experience blends citizen science\, cultural storytelling\, and emotional connection to place\, transforming the act of finding a tree into a deeper encounter with Country\, history\, and identity. \nWhy These Trees Matter \nThese eucalypts are deeply embedded in the landscape between Perth\, Serpentine\, and the southern Swan Coastal Plain. \nE. marginata subsp. elegantella is a restricted form of Jarrah found nowhere else. \nE. mundijongensis is locally endemic\, shaped by soil\, fire\, and time. \nTheir rarity makes every confirmed record an act of care for the future. \nThe Experience \nParticipants are invited to walk\, observe\, listen\, and document. \nThe event includes: \nGuided bush walks and self-led explorations \nHands-on identification workshops \nIndigenous perspectives\, acknowledging eucalypts as part of living Country\, including their cultural uses\, meanings\, and relationships \nReflections on how eucalypts shape Australian identity\, from ancient knowledge systems to migrant experiences of learning a new landscape \nParticipants may engage through: \nPhotography and mapping \nSketching\, journaling\, or sound recording \nShort creative reflections (words\, images\, or voice) \nFind a Tree – Receive a Reward \nTo encourage discovery\, Landcare SJ is offering rewards for verified records (unknown) of either species within the Serpentine–Jarrahdale area. \nTo participate: \nSubmit clear photographs \nProvide accurate location details \nShare any local\, cultural\, or personal knowledge connected to the site \nAll records will be verified by experienced botanists or project partners. Seed collection will only occur under appropriate permits and ethical guidelines. \nWho This Is For \nYounger and older community members \nLandholders and gardeners \nArtists\, photographers\, and storytellers \nNature lovers and adventure seekers \nPeople curious about the land they live on—whether lifelong locals or newcomers

SUMMARY:The Secret Life of our local Eucalypts - Bullsbrook (WA)
DESCRIPTION:Give a Hoot Bullsbrook is an inclusive\, collaborative event that welcomes everyone\, regardless of age\, background or ability. By centring eucalypt trees—the quiet giants of the landscape—as teachers\, shelters and lifelines\, the event aims to foster a deeper sense of stewardship and belonging. Through curiosity\, storytelling and hands-on experience\, Give a Hoot invites the community to not only admire these trees\, but to understand why protecting them is essential for the future of local wildlife and the identity of Bullsbrook itself. \nGive a Hoot Bullsbrook is an annual community-led environmental education event held at a community centre in Bullsbrook\, a north-eastern suburb of Perth that sits at the meeting point of urban growth and remaining bushland. This peri-urban/rural community is still\, in parts\, enveloped by significant eucalypt species including marri\, wandoo\, powderbark wandoo\, flooded gum and flowering ficifolia. These trees form the ecological backbone of the district\, yet many are being progressively removed as land is cleared for new housing estates. At the same time\, Bullsbrook is experiencing rapid social change\, with new Australians and urban-based families moving to the area seeking a “country” lifestyle—often without a full understanding of the local environment they are now part of. \nFew residents know the names of these eucalyptus species\, let alone the critical role they play in supporting wildlife\, regulating climate\, providing habitat\, and sustaining biodiversity. Give a Hoot Bullsbrook was created to gently but powerfully address this gap in knowledge. The event encourages the entire community to pause\, look at their own environmental footprint\, and reflect on how everyday choices impact the natural systems that surround them. \nThe focus will be on helping children and families understand the vital relationship between mature eucalypt trees and the animals that depend on them—particularly hollow-dependent species—while reinforcing the importance of preserving old\, mature trees alongside ongoing community tree-planting efforts that occur during the winter rainfall period. Through meaningful\, place-based learning\, Give a Hoot aims to support families to better understand\, value and care for the eucalypt species that shape the Bullsbrook landscape\, now and into the future. \nThree key eucalyptus-focused activities will feature:\n• A guided eucalypt walk exhibit designed specifically for children\, where children can see\, touch and compare local eucalypt specimens\, learning how to recognise them\, what each ones special trait is and why each matters.\n• A dedicated storytime space\, where children will be read Hollow is a Home\, paired with the presence of a live local animal species that relies on eucalypt hollows\,and a creative activity that is focussed on our local eucalypts – creating a memorable\, place-based learning experience.\n• The creation of a localised self-guided trail map highlighting nearby publicly accessible bushland and foreshore walkways\, including magnificent flooded gums and marri trees—some hundreds of years old—located on a constructed brook walkway. Although easily accessible\, this area remains largely unknown to local families. The trail map will encourage continued engagement beyond the event day\, empowering families to explore\, learn and connect with their local environment independently.
