Birds on Farms in the Wodonga Hills

Wodonga Urban Landcare Network in conjunction with Leneva Castle Creek Landcare are excited to invite you to a "Birds of Farms" field morning in the Wodonga Hills.  

Peter Callanan and Christine Odewahn purchased their property in 2018 and are transforming the property with shelterbelts to protect from wind, creekline revegetation to slow erosion, farm dam restoration work and planned revegetation to enhance habitat for birds. Join Peter and Christine to hear their story and Ben Humphries from Birdlife Australia who will tell us about the BirdLife Australia "Birds on Farms" program prior to leading us on a short walk to explore the property, hone our birdwatching skills and record what birds are present.

BirdLife Australia's "Birds on Farms" project is a great way to learn your birds and record changes on your property over time with 20 minute surveys 4 times a year using BirdLife Australia's Birdata app.

If you are a property owner come along and learn about the program and how birds benefit your farm operation.

If you don't have a property….dont worry, BirdLife Australia is always on the lookout for volunteer birdwatchers or those with a  keen interest in birds who want to learn. Birdlife Australia offers training to support participants to the program and this event is a great chance to learn more. No bird watching experience is necessary! 

This is a free event but registration is essential (address provided on registration). 

Morning tea will be provided
