Have you heard of Chytrid fungus? It’s a major threat to frogs, so keeping an eye out for signs of it is important!

You can help stop the spread of Chytrid by cleaning your boots, vehicles, and camping equipment before entering remote areas or coming in contact with dams and wetlands.

If you see a frog showing signs of Chytrid, please record it to Wildlife Services on tel. 03 6165 4305 or email [email protected]

Happy National Science Week from the team at envirodynamics!

We hope that, wherever you may be, that you get a chance to enjoy science or nature this week.

Here’s to another year ahead of restoring, studying, and appreciating the environment and natural habitats around us.

Recent research by the Landscape Recovery Foundation reinforces what decades of evidence have shown: while predation and competition matter, habitat loss remains the greatest threat to the survival of the critically endangered swift parrot.

LRF researchers Dr Matt Web, and Dr Leanne Wicker found successful swift parrot nesting across mainland Tasmania in areas where sugar gliders also occur, and no single predator consistently determined whether a nest succeeded or failed.

The reports finding? Protecting the swift parrot’s remaining breeding habitat is crucial to the species’ survival.

Have you seen the new edition of the Orchids of Tasmania app? If you're interested in identifying orchids, make sure to check it out!

Available to download for free from Google Play and the Apple Store, the app was rebuilt to work on modern devices and to reflect ongoing changes in the names and classification of Tasmanian orchids.

It's been a labour of love for Landscape Recovery Foundation Chair Malcolm Wells & his colleague, botanical maestro Mark Wapstra.

What a fantastic free resource to have available for Tassie!

What a fantastic project led by Landscape Recovery Foundation with very exciting results!

A huge thank you to:
Midland’s landholders
The Midlands Conservation Partnership (Tasmanian Land Conservancy and Bush Heritage Australia)
Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens
Threatened Plants Tasmania

And a big thank you to the Threatened Species Commissioner for highlighting the project.

This work was funded by the Australian Government’s Saving Native Species program and the Australian Orchid Foundation.

A big thank you to City of Hobart Bushcare, Glenorchy City Council, Friends of Wellington Park, Fern Tree Bushcare and Wellington Park Management Trust for some great field days over the last month searching for spurge laurel (Daphne laureola) in Collinsvale and Fern Tree.

Spurge laurel is an emerging w**d known from only four locations in Tasmania. These surveys have help map the edges of the infestations in the two southern populations and have potentially identified the source of one of the populations.

It is very important and very adventurous work!

This project is supported by the Tasmanian Government through the Weeds Action Fund.

Did you catch Gardening Australia (Season 37, Episode 11) a few weeks back? You might have seen some of Pippa’s colleagues over in Western Australia if you did!

Phytophthora dieback is a highly destructive plant disease and is regarded as the second greatest threat to threatened species in Australia. To help stop the spread of Phytophthora dieback, it’s crucial to know where it’s occurring, which can be achieved with the help of Pippa and other detection dogs.

The Western Australian Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions is leading a project to develop Dieback Detector Dog capacity across Australia (funded by the Australian Government Saving Native Species Program). This national project aims to prevent the spread of Phytophthora dieback by equipping teams across the country with the skills and resources they need.

Enviro-dynamic’s beloved Pippa was trained using this funding, making it possible to now offer Phytophthora dieback detection services in Tasmania.

You know it’s a good day when you spot a rakali!

Rakali are Australia’s native water rat. As a secretive animal most of the time, seeing one in the wild is a special occasion.

On a recent field trip for a little penguin survey, team member Erin was joined each evening of the survey by a family of three rakali. Over the course of the surveys, she watched them forage along the shoreline, swimming out to catch crabs before returning to shore to eat them.

If you’re walking along the beach in the evening, make sure to keep your eyes peeled!

Here is a snippet of our foxglove workshop in Scottsdale on the 8th April 2026.

70 people have attended four foxglove workshops around the state. Our workshop locations include Mount Roland/Sheffield area, Huonville, Maydena, and Scottsdale.

The information gathered from these events will be used to inform Foxglove management templates and Best Practice Guidelines.

Thank you to everyone who attended an event. Thank you Landcare Tasmania volunteers, local councils, and community leaders for your presentations and information on how you are managing foxgloves in your area.

Thank you Biosecurity Tasmania for your explanation on the declaration. These events were supported by the Tasmanian government.

Not all roadsides are w**dy wastelands.
Fiona and Nick have been doing some threatened species surveys around the state. They made this little video to highlight how even the most modified locations, such as roadsides, can often contain some very special plants which could be easily overlooked.

This also highlights how confusing common names can be in the world of flora. Fiona is notoriously bad at common names (she tends to prefer the botanical names as she finds it easier for some strange reason), as you can see here, getting the common names of two species of Pultenaea mixed up…. Pultenaea prostrata is known as the ’silky bush pea’, whereas this one here, Pultenaea humilis, is known as the ‘dwarf bush pea’…

Common names definitely have their place, but they can also quite easily cause confusion. Especially when the same species might have a different common name depending upon which state you are in. And sometimes the same common name is used in different parts of the world for totally different species. Such as in Australia ‘dogwood’ generally means species in the genus Pomaderris, however if you are in the states (and also sometimes in the horticulture trade in Australia) dogwood can mean species in the genus Cornus…

Some botanical names can be hard to pronounce (and spell), but go and give it a crack!
