NATIONAL TREE DAY |

This year marks 30 Years of National Tree Day 🌿

Since its inception in 1996, Planet Ark’s National Tree Day has grown into Australia’s largest community tree planting and nature care event. More than just a day, it’s a nationwide movement that inspires Australians to get their hands dirty, connect with nature, and make a positive difference in their local communities.

Over the past three decades, volunteers have contributed more than 10 million hours to planting trees, restoring habitat, and taking part in environmental activities that foster a deeper understanding of the natural world.

At FVC, we’re committed to protecting and restoring the natural environment that sustains us all. Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do.

This National Tree Day, help us to support actions that make a lasting difference one tree, one habitat, one community at a time 🌱

EMPLOYEE OF THE SEASON |

A huge congratulations to Rachel on being nominated for Employee of the Season for Autumn 👏

Rachel was recognised for not only her hard work, attention to detail but also her exceptional support, patience, and dedication when helping resolve a challenging issue another colleague was having with some software.

Rachel spent time helping work through the problem and kept suggesting different things to try when nothing seemed to be working. Even after a number of failed attempts, she stayed patient and continued helping until they finally got it sorted.

It was so appreciated how supportive and approachable she was throughout the process. It turned a frustrating tech issue into something they could work through together, remotely.

Her willingness to help and stick with the problem made a big difference.

Well done Rachel, we appreciate you!

WORLD BEE DAY 2026 |

World Bee Day is a global reminder of the vital role bees and other pollinators play in our food systems, biodiversity, and ecosystems.

The 2026 theme, “Bee engaged in pollinator-friendly agricultural production,” calls for action to protect pollinators through sustainable, evidence-based farming practices 🌱

At FVC, we’re proud to support bee friendly practices by promoting sustainable agriculture, protecting habitats, and encouraging approaches that help pollinators thrive 🐝💛

PILBARA BIOLOGICAL SURVEY |

A team of our Botanists and Zoologists recently returned from a successful trip up to the Pilbara region, known for its rugged ranges and gorges. The team was fortunate to have pleasant weather conditions in contrast to normal Pilbara extremes allowing the team to complete all planned work while appreciating the region’s diversity.

The Botany team conducted a detailed flora and vegetation survey, recording the plant species that occur in the survey area that were encountered and keeping a keen eye out for the priority species of the area. The fauna team were focused on collecting trail cameras deployed in the previous trip and conducting other surveys looking for significant species, such as the Western Pebble-mound Mouse Pilbara Olive Python, the Pilbara Leaf-nosed Bat, Ghost Bat and Bilby.

As the survey area had seen little previous survey effort, access was achieved entirely by helicopter, offering a spectacular bird’s eye view of the landscape. Extensive ground surveys were then undertaken on foot, navigating through arid spinifex grasslands, traversing through mulga to cover all grounds. Overall, it was a great trip with a robust survey effort in one of Australia's very unique landscapes.
