6 August @ 7:00 pm - 9:30 pm
Ecologist, Dr. Bruno de Oliveira Ferronato, is a turtle specialist. He is the Turtle Project Officer at Ginninderra Catchment Group, who runs TurtleWatch ACT.
TurtleWatch ACT is a collaborative project between Ginninderra Catchment Group, the University of Canberra, and the ACT Government. It is a citizen science project dedicated to monitoring the Eastern long-necked turtle (Chelodina longicollis) in the ACT. These turtles face increasing threats from habitat loss, road collisions, and predators like foxes. By studying their populations and protecting nests, the aim is to support their long-term survival.
Refreshments available from 7pm. Mugs or keep-cups encouraged. Non-members welcomed.
Meeting starts at 7:30pm.
