Ecological thinning trial in river red gum forests, Murray Valley National Park. Photo: Emma Gorrod

Recent scientific studies have described a decline in the health of river red gum forests. Given ongoing river regulation and the likelihood of future droughts resulting from climate change, NSW National Parks has worked with the Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) Science Division to compose an experimental design and monitoring plan that seeks to determine whether reducing tree density leads to improved health and biodiversity.

Reduced density is likely to mean more access to water, more mature hollow bearing trees which provide habitat and other valuable resources, and more wood debris for native Australian animals and plants. It’s also expected to prevent further decline in the condition of the red gum canopy.

Rehearsal of the Ballet, Everett Shinn   1905-06 

Agapanthus (African lily) are summer-flowering perennial plants, grown for their showy flowers, commonly in shades of blue and purple, but also white and pink.

Genus name comes from the Greek words agape meaning love and anthos meaning flower.

Japanese Snowball Viburnum plicatum

Japanese snowball trees (Viburnum plicatum) are likely to win a gardener’s heart with their lacy white globes of flower clusters hanging heavy on the branches in spring.

Chinese Snowball Viburnum macrocephalum 'Sterile'

Beautiful, huge and full Hydrangea-like blooms adorn the Chinese Snowball Bush for several weeks from early spring. Starting as small clusters of green buds, the blossoms mark the end of cold weather. 

Snowball hydrangea shrubs grow 4 to 6 feet tall, while the viburnums grow 6 to 10 feet tall. If you’re looking at a shrub that is well over 6 feet tall, it is a viburnum.

Philip Stapp, Picture in Your Mind, 1948

Sent by the U.S. government as a participant in the Marshall Plan with a specific mission to assist the French in re-gearing their animation studios, Stapp discovered a Europe much-decimated by war, but in further danger of annihilation by nuclear weapons. Returning to the U.S., he produced this alarming-yet-hopeful film, replete with its lonely, Tanguy-inspired landscapes peopled with static figures casting long shadows across charcoal-colored plains. While taking the risk of leaning a bit toward didacticism, Stapp managed to urgently convey the thought that world destruction was not necessarily inevitable, provided that people embrace, rather than reject their cultural and racial differences. ‘Picture’ is a unique document resulting from the sometimes dreamy, sometimes nightmarish vision of the artist in a war-torn land, with the spectre of death hovering ever-so-slightly ahead.
