Rewarding Feedback

Posted on 12 November, 2014 by Connecting Country

Workshop program participants Dr Malcolm Barnett, Liz Heath and Caroline Lovell have been rewarded for their contribution this year. The three were amongst those who provided some detailed and considered feedback on the 2014 workshop program. As a result, Malcolm will receive a visit from an ecologist for a two-hour property ‘wander’ and Q&A; Liz takes home a nest box to provide an instant home for a Brush-tailed Phascogale or Sugar Glider; and Caroline Lovell now has a copy of Leon Costerman’s excellent field guide to eucalypts of south-eastern Australia, ‘Trees of Victoria and Adjoining Areas’.

Thanks to all presenters, participants and steering group members for contributing to a successful program this year. The six workshop sessions involved 133 participants (45 individual participants) managing 1925 hectares or 4756 acres and 28 presenters. Plus around 130 people attended the opening launch with Ian Lunt.

If you missed out on this year’s sessions you can read up about them – and access resources – on the Education Program Pages.

The education steering group met recently and we are well on the way in planning for the 2015 program. Next year’s program will continue on the field-based activities, but we will run two separate series, in autumn and spring, with something indoors for winter … Stay tuned for more information later this year.
