Educational Talk with the Bee Man Clancy Lester.
Come along and learn all about native bees/pollinators and how you can look after them in your local area.
Hear from Clancy Lester, a native bee nerd, science communicator, and founder of @BeesandBlossoms.Aus, dedicated to pollinator conservation and public education. Clancy is an ABC Trailblazer, a Wattle Fellowship alumni and is passionate about nature, while creating a love and appreciation for bees and other bugs.
Free community event.
Microbats are everywhere, but they are small and difficult to see. They come out as the sun sets to hunt for insects using echolocation.
Join Friends of Native Wildlife at Cheltenham Park to look for these flying mammals. Wander around with us and our bat detectors as the sun sets. The detector allows us to hear their ultrasonic calls. If you are really lucky, you might even be able to see them flying in the dark.
Come on a guided walk around Rickett's Point with Friends of Native Wildlife, welcome the waders, and experience the variety of marine and bush birds and other wildlife living here.
Come and join us looking on the foreshore for Rakali, our only semi-aquatic mammal besides the platypus.
As the sun sets, these quiet and secretive natives come out looking for food. We'll start the evening with some information about the Rakali, including how to recognise signs they're in the area. Then we'll wander a short distance along the foreshore, trying to catch sight of these elusive mammals.
