it becomes a particular at that altitude well once again foxes uh dear and European wasp uh the other one critically um feral dogs you know and quite a number of years ago I was working for an aboriginal co-op in the Latrobe valley and we’d got some money from the feds so the national parks in Canberra and state government threw some money in and one of the first projects there was to do a fox baiting program and i said to him well look i don’t want the money for 12 months if we’re going to do this this has got to be longer term anyhow you know so it was agreed on that we’d do a five-year project and uh targeting of all things foxes of course because along the coast there particularly the beaches had these rare birds nesting but within the first 12 months it you know we’d reduce the number of foxes and then there was an increase in the number of um nesting birds that were rare birds uh or threatened species bird but the other thing that increased was the number of emus uh it was quite interesting uh so yeah look i i it’s a it’s a constant the other ones this beetle that’s getting into some of the trees there although noted back in 98 i guess you know and i’ve wondered why they were dying and i thought is that because of you know the removal of core burning regimes okay um and it’s no different here yeah i live in a bit of bush down and on the flood plains here uh and it’s got a bit of remnant i don’t give the same planes vegetation in it and you tend to find that the trees are they look healthy but they’re full of termites you know um and so with a bit of cool burning you probably change those sort of little species that are having impacted some of our trees um i’d like to to know a little bit more about what they’re doing with it i mean you can you can pick these trees out there just like you know you’ve seen um what they call it um mistletoe in trees and how how the dieback happens from that well it’s no different this little beetle it gets under the bark and before and now it ring barks it underneath sort of thing and the tree just dies off and you see all these nice little grooves in the tree where this this beetle’s got in sort of thing you know so that’s another major threat i guess um but um and bushfires you know it’s it’s not a an introduced species but it is in a sense because it’s the wrong type of fire yeah so yeah that’s another a good discussion that i think we need to reintroduce the practices of the old people and and that is you know when you leave in the high country in autumn get some cool mozart burns going in there to replenish
