Bushfire and Birds with Graeme Hamilton CEO of Birds Australia
Intense bushfires, such as those that occurred on Black Saturday, have a huge impact on birds and other wildlife. There are direct impacts through mortality, and delayed impacts through displacement and starvation. Graeme will discuss these issues, as well as the fact that, as bad as major fires are, well-intentioned fuel reduction burns may cause greater problems.Venue Currawong Bush Park, 277 Reynolds Road, Doncaster East 3109 Mel Ref. 34 H6 Enquiries 9840 9124 - Weeding .
