Join us for a workshop focused on two of the region’s most fascinating and important ecological stories: the role of mistletoe in woodland health and the conservation of the critically endangered Regent Honeyeater.
Delivered by the expert team from Birdlife Australia, with support from Central Tablelands Regional Landcare Network and the Biodiversity Conservation Trust, these workshops will share up-to-date science, hands-on propagation methods for mistletoe restoration, and practical advice on supporting Regent Honeyeater habitat in key areas.
