Yourka Reserve focus of free talk
EVER wonder what the not-for-profit conservation group Bush Heritage Australia (BHA) does?
A free talk and presentation in Malanda this Thursday will provide great information about the Yourka Reserve, a 43,500-hectare BHA property which sits across the Einasleigh Uplands and Wet Tropics Bioregions.
The Tree Kangaroo and Mammal Group (TKMG) will host the free talk by Christine Mauger, ecologist for Yourka Reserve who will give an overview of the history and work of Bush Heritage.
The talk will include details of the Yourka Reserve management program (including volunteer opportunities) and information about recent ecological surveys and species found at Yourka.
One of the current aims is to get Special Wildlife Reserve status for the reserve and a koala project conducted in conjunction with Roger Martin from TKMG who is working to help achieve this goal.
All are invited to attend what promises to be a very interesting presentation on Thursday from 7.30pm in the ballroom of the Big Pub/Malanda Hotel.
