Loving Our Eucs - A Year in the Life of a Eucalypt

A 12-month observation project, participants take a photograph each season, from the same position, of a Eucalypt in your paddock, garden or public space and send us here at Up2Us Landcare Alliance.

A seasonal picture will capture subtle changes to our Eucalypts that we may not usually notice, and to highlight the importance of protecting and preserving our eucalypts.

If you would like to take part in this project please contact Rhiannon at landcare2@up2us.org.au
