An endemic weevil, previously thought to be extinct, has been re-discovered — another testament to the benefits of the rat eradication program.
During this trip, the Friends removed native creepers from saplings being smothered in clearings created by trees fallen over following the 2019 drought.
A new orchid has been found on Lord Howe Island — the Yellow-flowered King of the Fairies, Oberonia complanata.
The clearing of weeds from Edie’s Glen by Friends of LHI has been such a great success story it deserves a detailed coverage of how it was achieved.
Following a wet week on the Island, when the Friends group flew into the Island on Saturday the sun was shining and it promised to be a good week of weather ahead.
This was another great weeding trip, with 22 people along for the week, of which more than half were new to the Friends weeding weeks.
Despite the wild weather start, the May 2022 weeding ecotour was a great week, and 262 hours volunteer labour were contributed.
