17 February – Connectivity Conservation and the Great Eastern Ranges Corridor
Posted on 13 February, 2012 by Connecting Country
There will be a presentation by the Great Eastern Ranges Principal Officer, Gary Howling, on connectivity conservation and the Great Eastern Ranges corridor on 17 February in Bendigo.
The Great Eastern Ranges corridor (called GER) is hosted by Greening Australia NSW and is largely funded by the NSW Government, which in turn leverages project funding and in-kind contributions from over 120 regional implementation partners. The GER Initiative has commissioned a number of research activities in partnership with ANU, CSIRO, Birds Australia and others. This is starting to provide insights into the importance of the GER corridor across each of the eastern States.
GER have generously offered to share their findings with the Central Victorian Biolinks initiative, which itself is very new and in a scoping phase. However, a key role of this initiative is to share information that they think may be of interest to people and organisations working ‘on ground’.
Title: ‘The Great Eastern Ranges Initiative – its evolution, achievements, science and future plans’

Time: 9am for coffee and cake and to meet with Gary Howling. 10 – 12 for presentation.
