Join us at Wingham Library to learn about the restoration projects being implemented in and around Wingham Brush. You will hear from local restoration expert, Scott Meier (BARRC) about the principles of natural area restoration; and Nicholas Colman about the local programs being delivered to protect the Grey-Headed Flying Fox (Pteropus poliocephalus) population at Wingham, and why this species is so important as an ecosystem vector and pollinator.

The Wingham Brush population is one of the only permanent camps for Pteropus poliocephalus, which is listed as Vulnerable at both State and Federal levels. We will go for a walk through the Brush and along the Manning River Foreshore and see how the areas are recovering from recent impacts, such as the major flooding of 2022; observe restoration efforts, and take a look at the resident Grey-Headed Flying Fox population (and other species of bat) in the Brush.

Staff from the Biodiversity Conservation Trust, Midcoast Council, MidCoast2Tops Landcare and National Parks and Wildlife Service will share their knowledge and expertise on the day.

You will have a chance to meet other landholders in the Private Land Conservation network and share stories and experiences on the day.

Morning Tea and Lunch will be provided.
