Southern New England Landcare will host an interactive webinar as part of the ongoing Northern Tablelands Koala Partnership Project on Friday 29th October.
The focus of the webinar is how to re-create koala habitat and provide practical guidance to participants.
“We will be letting landholders know about the opportunities to be involved in this project,” said Des Andersen, Koala Conservation Project Officer with Southern New England Landcare.
“Landholders are able to seek financial assistance to recreate Koala habitat on their properties and contribute significantly to helping Koalas survive in this area for the next 100 years,” he said.
“There are many benefits for rural landholders through creating koala habitat, including the biodiversity benefits for agriculture and for conservation goals” he said.
The webinar will cover known and practical methods to ensure participant’s revegetation or enhancement efforts are successful.
John Lemon, a local ecologist from JML Environmental Consultants, will speak on Koala feed trees and provide information on Koala dietary preferences, and the importance of providing a consistent vegetation community structure.
John says, “We’ve learnt a lot by researching Koalas on the Northern Tablelands in the last few years and look forward to passing on some of this knowledge to assist landholders in their planning and implementation of Koala habitat on their properties”.
