This year’s program will focus on three overarching themes:

Climate Change: adaptation and change in vegetation
Fauna: reintroductions and acoustic monitoring
Private Landholders: exploring other effective conservation measures

The afternoon will open with welcome remarks from Dr Cath Dickson, followed by six-minute ‘speed talks’ exploring the latest science undertaken on TLC reserves.

You’ll hear from researchers including TLC staff, University of Tasmania, NRM South and more, with each speaker offering a unique window into their work.

The day will also be live-streamed: If you'd prefer to attend online, simply select the online attendance option when registering and we’ll send you the link ahead of time.
