Beautiful weather enticed a strong group to join FOBIF’s August walk through the Maldon Historic reserve yesterday. The area is noted for its biodiversity, and though it’s still early in the season, there was plenty to see, including several species of Wattle in flower, numerous Leopard and Greenhood orchids, spectacular Hardenbergia, and fine beds of Juniper moss abundant in red stemmed sporeheads.
The walk traversed the 311 hectare block which DELWP proposes to burn over the next twelve months, a matter of serious concern to local conservationists, especially since we are told that an El Nino warm dry period is coming, something which could affect recovery.
