Camera Trap Demonstration Day

Join us with hosts, Scott and Mandy at their beautiful Topi Topi Conservation Property, where they combine conservation and primary production to learn all about Camera Traps and how to use them.  Staff from MidCoast2Tops Landcare Connection and MidCoast Council will share practical tips about how to set up your camera trap for monitoring wildlife, how to avoid common mistakes, and how to manage your data.  We will look at different models of camera trap, the use of lures and baits and the ethics of using this type of technology.

We will look at how camera trap data can be used to inform land management decisions, funding prioritisation and broaden our understanding of the environment.  

The field component of the day will demonstrate how to choose and prepare a site to install your camera for best results.

Staff from the Biodiversity Conservation Trust will be available to offer support and share their expertise about best practice fauna monitoring, and the options available to landholders who are interested in Private Land Conservation.

Morning tea and lunch will be provided.

This event is part of the Private Land Conservation Matters program, funded by the NSW Biodiversity Conservation Trust in partnership with Landcare NSW and supported locally by MidCoast Council.
