"Sticky sundews" by Jaya Hunn won the 2022 Landcare Junior "What's in your backyard?" photography competition."They smell the sweet smell of the tips of the tentacles, and when the flies land on them they get stuck there and digested by the plant. "I've been doing some land care down the Umbagong Park with Landcare group and then I just took this photo of a sundew because we found out when we were weeding," he said.'No conservation, no plants, no life'
Jaya took to discovering more about his natural surrounds and now he is passionate about conservation in Canberra and beyond."That's basically the end for humankind so you have to keep every tiny bit of natural parks clean and safe, and that's basically contributing to the life of all mankind."Jaya is hopeful the notoriety from winning the photography contest could help him do more for Landcare's conservation effort.
