Tableland Talk September 2023

Despite my best intentions I have failed to deliver the small monthly newsletter I edit for our community to my blog since May. In fact, I have failed to deliver anything to my blog since May! Let’s just say there has been a lot of other stuff happening. I am happy to say I have continued delivering Tableland Talk to our community nonetheless. Now it is time to re-establish myself here in this favourite space.

One of the things I have been involved in has been working with the Strathbogie Tableland Action Group Communications sub committee on our community web site http://www.strathbogie.org This work is entirely managed and maintained by volunteers. It might not have all the bells and whistles, but it has merit. If you have missed TT in your life you will find the current and all back issues here – so take a look.

Rewilding: an urban beginning?

I recently read David Attenborough’s 2020 book, “A life on our planet: My witness statement and a vision for the future”. Ever since, I have been contemplating how on earth it will be possible to action the plans he outlines for preserving functional global climate systems, biodiversity, and saving ourselves from ourselves.

Rewilding is one solution Attenborough envisages. A small example may be when many urban neighbourhoods develop their own small forests and foster biolinks. The cumulative effect could be significant. Just as each relatively small piece of new built environment and mono cultural agribusiness diminishes our capacity to recover, each relatively small piece of new ecosytem and forest enhances it.
