Rhiannon Stevens, a features reporter with ABC Rural, came out and shared some time with Steve Murphy and me at ImLal a couple of weeks ago. She's interested in positive stories about how we can reverse habitat decline. I arranged the interview as publicity for the new Second Edition of Recreating the Country. When her resulting well-presented digital article was put up online on August 23rd, Steve’s Recreating the Country website immediately started pinging with book orders; and that's even though the article only obliquely refers to the book. It seems that enough people are tech savvy and finding their way to him, so he’s not complaining! The lead image for her story is a large spreading gum, alone in a blazing yellow paddock of canola. Rhiannon told us she found the way into the story through highlighting the need to revegetate our landscapes in order to save the ubiquitous lone paddock trees from vanishing. She points out everyone has seen them when driving through the countryside and they're something with which most people can empathise.
