FVC

1ST DAY OF WINTER |

Today marks the first day of Winter in WA, and the FVC team is moving into the season with a fresh sense of enthusiasm. With every change in season comes new experiences, and winter brings diverse landscapes to explore, both new and familiar, along with the incredible species we encounter along the way ❄️

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.
