Please avoid using this synthetic webbing to decorate your house for Halloween.

Native birds are nesting at the moment, and many species, such as the beautiful White Plumed Honeyeater pictured, will use (real) spiderwebs as a downy padding for their nests. Unsurprisingly, the parent birds can not tell the difference between real and plastic spiderwebs, and when used for nesting, this material can result in fledgling birds becoming snared in their own nests. You can see the poor little bird in the attached image has a foot that is entirely bound up, and needed to be "cut out" of its nest.

The material can also trap bats, larger birds, and insects, generally resulting in a slow, painful death.

Let's do better for all the wonderful wildlife we have! 🌿🐦🦉

🍎 Saving the apples we almost lost.

This incredible collection preserves old and forgotten apple varieties — many of which have disappeared from mainstream agriculture.

And the best part? 🌱 You can actually buy saplings and grow some of these varieties yourself!

Preserving heirloom and heritage foods is a powerful way to protect agricultural biodiversity. These older varieties can offer incredible flavour, resilience, and genetic diversity that modern commercial farming often overlooks.

Instead of a handful of mass-produced varieties, imagine gardens and orchards filled with hundreds of different apples. 🍏🌳

🌱 Grow diversity. Preserve heritage. Protect our food future.

Learn more and find heritage apple trees at
"Apple Search" or other places. https://applesearch.org/

🦇 Australia’s flying-foxes are some of the most important native animals. Often, they are called fruit bats. They feed on nectar, pollen, and fruit, travelling long distances between flowering and fruiting trees. 🌿

As they feed, they pollinate flowers and spread seeds, helping regenerate Australia’s forests and rainforests. 🌳

But some species are threatened. The grey-headed flying-fox is Vulnerable, the spectacled flying-fox is Endangered, and the Christmas Island flying-fox is Critically Endangered.

Habitat loss, extreme heat, and other human-related threats put pressure on their populations.

The waratah (Telopea speciosissima) is the floral emblem of New South Wales and one of Australia’s most spectacular native flowers.

When left growing in the wild, waratahs can complete their natural life cycle, produce seeds, and provide nectar for native wildlife. That’s why it’s so important to admire them where they belong — in nature.

To help deter people from illegally picking them, National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) rangers and volunteers use non-toxic blue paint on some wild waratahs. The paint reduces their appeal to people who may pick them for private displays or sale.

It is illegal to pick or possess wild native plants in NSW, with fines starting at $300 and court penalties potentially reaching $22,000.

So if you’re lucky enough to see a wild waratah, take a photo, enjoy its beauty, and leave it growing for others — and for our native wildlife — to enjoy. 💙

Have you ever seen a wild waratah?
