Our effort for the from 1 July 2024 to 31 December 2025 was 534 hours, 36% more than same period last season and 29% more than the average for the previous 15 seasons of monitoring. This sizeable increase can largely be attributed to the return of Pax to the spraying team, as well as more favourable weather conditions.

The largest amount of effort (27%) has gone into treating the group of uncategorised low to medium risk broadleaf weeds* largely in Weetangera paddock,followed closely by St. John's Wort (26%). The next largest were Paterson's curse (15%) and Saffron thistles (10%). All other weeds combined accounted for less than 23% of effort.

Pages for two new categories of species have been added to the site: Algae and Slime moulds. The reserves first species of Slime Mould species was found at 2 locations earlier this year during a regular visit by the Canberra Fungi Group. These are fascinating single-cell organisms that express themselves in various macroscopic forms and worth Googling to find out more about them.

The Lichens, Mosses and Liverworts page has been updated to group the three types of species separately following a successful season which added several new Lichen and Moss species. More photos have also been added.
