About the Presenters

Mick Roderick, NSW Woodland Bird Program Manager at BirdLife Australia

Kristy Peters, NSW Woodland Bird Project Officer at BirdLife Australia

The Woodland Birds Program aims to enhance the conservation of all threatened and declining woodland species. This is achieved by either single-species recovery work (e.g. Swift Parrot, Regent Honeyeater and Red-tailed Black-Cockatoo recovery projects) or multi-species projects like Birds on Farms. Through on-the-ground management practices and protection of woodland habitats the program has been able to reduce the threats woodland birds face.

What to bring

A hat, water bottle and sturdy shoes for a field walk.
