Blue Moon at Earthcare Park

2010-02-25T11:11:00.006+11:00

Blue

Moon

MONDAY 1ST MARCH 2010 at gather 6.30 for 7.00 PM start.

ALL WELCOME.

A blue moon can refer to the third full moon in a season with four full moons, or the second full moon of a calendar month. Most years have twelve full moons which occur approximately monthly, but in addition to those twelve full lunar cycles, each solar calendar year contains an excess of roughly eleven days compared to the lunar year of 12 lunations. The extra days accumulate, so every two or three years (7 times in the 19-year Metonic cycle), there is an extra full moon.

The term "blue moon" comes from folk lore. Different traditions and conventions place the extra "blue" full moon at different times in the year. OUR Blue Moon occurs, strangely, this time on the 1st of March 2010 (next 2029) and can be seen rising majestically over the eastern hills of the Earthcare Park on Metford Rd Tenambit at around 7pm.

Phil Fiveash astrophotographer from the Astronomical Society of the Hunter and members of that society will be present. Bring along your telescopes and binoculars for a magic vision of this unusual event. All care should be taken and weather permitting we will gather at 6:30 PM.

For details call: 4937 4664 or 4970 5780.

Spotted Gum-Ironbark forest - our own Tassie tiger

2008-06-06T12:41:00.002+10:00

The Park is home to the Lower Hunter Spotted Gum-Ironbark (LHSGI) forest, an Endangered Ecological Community listed under the NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995. The Act lists species, populations and ecological communities that are endangered or presumed extinct.

The LHSGI forest community is restricted to a range of 65km by 35km centred on the Cessnock-Beresfield area. It was once widespread but now only remnants remain. Four large patches of LHSGI forest were once estimated to have covered nearly 50 000ha prior to European settlement. Today about 10% of this remains, or approximately 7 000ha.

Ongoing threats include: further clearing and the subsequent fragmentation impacts, rubbish dumping, weed invasion, coalmining and logging activities.

We are currently investigating the best way to proceed with protecting and restoring this unique local icon. Contact us to get involved!

Trees - workin' hard to make a living

2008-06-06T11:39:00.002+10:00

In collaboration with Greening Australia, Earthcare Park established a farm forestry project on the northern boundary of the Park. So what is farm forestry anyway?

The mid-1970s saw the global recognition of the key role trees play on farms and wikipedia describes 'agroforestry' as: an agricultural approach of using the interactive benefits from combining trees and shrubs with crops and/or livestock. It combines agriculture and forestry technologies to create more integrated, diverse, productive, profitable, healthy and sustainable land-use systems.

Today - agroforestry practices have made significant inroads on critical survival issues in the 'third world' by: reducing poverty through increasing production of agroforestry products for home consumption and sale; contributing to food security by restoring farm soil fertility for food crops and production of fruits, nuts and edible oils; reducing deforestation and pressure on woodlands by providing fuelwood grown on farms.

Join us on July 6 @ 9am for a chat with a farm forestry expert, followed by maintenance work on our plot and our AGM at 11am.
