October Outing – National Wildlife Collection, Black Mountain

Anna Kearns from CSIRO has kindly made arrangements for her colleague Julian Teh to guide a small group of Field Naturalists through the National Wildlife Collection.

This event is now fully subscribed (Your name could be placed on a cancellation list if you’d like)

NB. It is envisaged that this outing is a forerunner for a later outing when a larger group of Field Naturalists could tour all the collections at Black Mountain, including the National Insect Collection and the Australian National Herbarium, as well as the National Wildlife Collection.
