8 May 2015 – What is the measure of your success? – Nature’s Stocktake
Posted on 28 April, 2015 by Connecting Country
There are still a small number places available for the final session in our Autumn 2015 workshop program which will cover how to monitor and measure the outcomes of your restoration project. Expert presenters Paul Foreman from Blue Devil Consulting and Terri Williams from Bendigo TAFE will provide participants with an understanding of vegetation structure and function and will include learning how to undertake practical, easy and repeatable methods for measuring the health of your patch.
Connecting Country staff will also a give an overview our nest-box monitoring and annual bird surveys, for those with an interest in the animal aspect of bush restoration.
As this workshop will be undertaken on a beautiful bush block in Taradale (which is protected in perpetuity by a Conservation Covenant), attendees will be able to see and feel what might be regarded as an intact reference area for works on their property. The day runs from 10am to 3.30pm (Fri 8 May), with lunch provided by local food legends CAKE. Travel by bus from Castlemaine to the site is included if required.
So snuggly! Monitoring nest boxes can be rewarding and part of measuring the success of your restoration project

Hi Jane,
