Our friends at Newstead Landcare are holding their AGM on Tuesday 11 November with guest presenter Tanya Loos!

Where: Newstead Community Centre, 9 Lyons St. Newstead VIC

When: Tuesday 11 November 2025

Cost: Gold coin donation appreciated

Tanya Loos will be talking about the joys and challenges of living with wildlife. A central Victorian local, Tanya is a field naturalist, author, and science communicator. Of Tanya’s latest book, Living with Wildlife, Dr Danielle Clode (award-winning author), said, “In a world of changing climates and decreasing natural habitat we all need to adapt to survive. Living with Wildlife provides a practical, accessible and engaging guide to sharing our spaces with the wildlife our homes have displaced. Filled with sensible, achievable tips for a safe and peaceful co-existence with a wide range of species, this book is an essential resource for all nature lovers who want to share their world with Australia’s remarkable wildlife.”

In Central Victoria we are lucky to be surrounded by native habitats and wildlife. We can either have a negative or positive impact on the wildlife that live in our backyards or make their way into our homes. Tanya gives real-world examples and practical tips to help manage issues such as birds hitting the window through fun and engaging stories. If you haven’t heard Tanya speak before (or even if you have!), this is one not to miss.

All welcome!

Supper will follow the talk, gold coin donations appreciated.
