Earthworm cocoons were found in and around dung beetle tunnels. Each cocoon for this species contained four eggs. Earthworm cocoons found at Oxley farm-walk
Earthworms casts were found in and around dung beetle tunnels, and are an excellent source of plant nutrients Earthworm casts in dung beetle tunnels
Earthworm activity is found to increase in and around dung beetle tunnels. The earthworms feed on dung brought down by the beetles. Plant roots also cash in on the extra nutrients that surround dung beetle tunnels. Earthworm activity in dung beetle tunnels
This was found at the base of a tunnel at the Milawa farm-walk. Beetles begin their life as an egg and then Bubas bison egg in brood ball
Bubas bison dung beetle tunnels were observed at a depth of over 60cm (see holes at the base of the pit) Bubas bison dung beetle tunnels
The farm-walk was held at Oxley and the information session at Milawa. Bubas bison was observed to be very active at this property and there was also considerable earthworm activity. Milawa/Oxley Farm-walk

Upper Kiewa Landcare

ON Sunday nearly 20 members of the Upper Kiewa Landcare sub-group braved the chilly weather to plant hundreds of native seedlings at Briggs Bridge Reserve. The reserve is located in Red Bank Road, and is used in summer by locals and visitors who come to picnic and cool off in the river. The purpose of the planting was to improve the health of existing large eucalypts by creating an understory of small trees and shrubs to attract birds and insects to the area. “The grubs of some of the insects feed on mistletoe berries, and help keep the trees free of infestation,” group president Jill Dawson said. The group planted various tussock grasses, callistemon, bursaria, correa, hardenbergia, daisies, kangaroo grass and tick indigo. The newly planted area has been roped off and hung with signs to explain the project to the public. The next project on the Landcare group’s agenda is the refurbishment of Junction Creek Gully in Tawonga South, now that it has been burned off by the CFA. “Now that we have a Works on Waterways permit from the Northeast Water Catchment Authority, we will be able to begin that job very soon now,” Ms Dawson said. The job will be done by Landcare in partnership with the Alpine Shire and a group of interested residents of the area. The shire will be responsible for removal of large pieces of rubbish, general cleanup will be done by Landmate, and planting will be done by Landcare members and residents. Briggs Bridge planting day
