Native grasses (Poa labillardierei) are often the first to burn and the first to grow back. Across eastern Australia, Common Tussock-grass regenerates quickly after fire, as long as temperatures aren’t too extreme. When they do re-grow, although low in sustenance, are often the first available food for wallabies and kangaroos. Native grasses are quickly re-established and when there is high rainfall after fires the grasses offer nesting birds a safe refuge as well as a welcome hiding place for smaller marsupials. — Seeds are the starting point for ecological restoration. Seeds give us an understanding of the natural processes and needs of nature. These Seeds of Hope represent nature’s untapped potential and hold a wealth of promise for growth in the future. Seeds will eventually become the plants, grasses, and trees that are needed to restore the natural processes to the Australian landscape. These seeds will empower you to take part in repairing the damage. — #poalabillardieri #tussockgrass #fire #seeds #nativeseeds #SeedsOfHope #botanical #illustration https://www.instagram.com/p/CNw0KSblLB1/?igshid=1f9jxq5qv440u
