I spent this week up in the Craigieburn Forest Park of the NZ Southern Alps helping to teach our Masters level Conservation Biology course at #LincolnUniversityNZ.

This is the first year we've run the course field trip at this location. We did so to better understand how nature is recovering after the big December 2024 fire in the area.

We were joined by retired restoration ecologist and pine expert Nick Ledgard, who spent much of his career working at the site. Nick now has a set of restoration trials set up to learn how to increase the native cover in the burnt area. The worry is that if left alone it will transition to a largely weed dominated vegetation.

@frankashwood joined us for the first days of the trip to help us monitor the soil invertebrates establishing in the burnt areas, which we're comparing with the unburnt areas.

@TimCurran was also with us for a day to better understand how the fire spread through the area, and why a lot of the mountain beech forest did not burn.

I've just returned from our three day annual Biodiversity Coast-to-Coast field trip with our second year ecology course at #LincolnUniversityNZ. We traversed NZ's South Island east to west and back again. The students surveyed birds, plants, invertebrates, and mushrooms in 10 m by 10 m plots at seven sites along the way. The students have the time to explore and document the myriad of species they find.

This is now the 12th year we've been running this field trip, at the same sites with the same survey methods. We use the data in a lab later in the course to describe and discuss the patterns and trends in biodiversity.

I now have a pile of photos to sort and upload to our course project on #iNaturalist, as do our students. Here's a quick taste of the trip (which was excellent fun).

Big thanks to Lincoln Uni. lecturers @GodsoeWilliam and @frankashwood for coming along for the first time. It was *terrific* having them there sharing their expertise with the course.

Thanks to @bibbidi.bobbidi.beard for inspiring me to make #Maleficent her best self!

This amazing print is from @kaylawoodsideart & @brentwoodsideart - I purchased it directly from them at a con almost 10 years ago. She hung proudly in our apartment, but she needed a glow up for our new home. The matting was not well conceived and she deserved more.

I've been up in the North Canterbury mountains this week, helping to teach our third-year undergraduate field ecology research course at #LincolnUniversityNZ. It was great fun, as always, helping students to carry out their first ecology research projects.

I'm collapsed back home, and very tired, after a week of long days outside then nights spent at the moth light. I've got a small mountain of photos to sort out and upload. That can wait until another day but here's a small taste.
