Koala Smart - Free Curriculum aligned program
On Saturday 21st September 2024, Meg Drinan and Paul Melehan (our Mid and Upper Hunter Local Landcare Coordinators) worked with our partners The Biodiversity Conservation Trust to deliver a Koala Habitat Workshop at Belltrees Public School.
The workshop included a host of knowledgeable guest speakers: Daniel Trudgeon, Senior Land Services Officer from Hunter Local Land Services, Candice Skelton, Project Officer for Barrington Tops area Koala Reserves (National Parks and Wildlife Service Hunter Central Coast Branch), Rhys Corrigan, Regional Conservation Officer at the Biodiversity Conservation Trust. Talks included koala habitat restoration, koala monitoring and conservation.
HRLN and BCT would like to thank Belltrees Public School for providing a wonderful venue for the day to hold the talks. Koala food trees given to participants were grown with funds provided by the Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife and Hunter Local Land Services.
