AAEE ACT members network event - Exclusive Wildbark Twilight tour

 Members and Friends  

Winter Wildbark Twilight Tour

Yuma Australian Environmental Education ACT Chapter Members and Friends!

 AAAEE ACT Chapter invites all members to come and join us for our next networking meeting at Wildbark Centre (Mulligans Flat) for an exclusive twilight winter walk and look at the new Wildbark Visitors centre with our very own Andrew O'Meara (Education and Outreach Co-coordinator Woodlands and Wetlands Trust).

Wildbark Learning Centre is a gateway through time, allowing us to enter from the quiet suburb of Forde and exit into a near pre-European bushland known as Goorooyarroo Nature reserve, a part of the Mulligans Flat Woodland Experiment. Wildbark is the culmination of a joint venture between The Woodlands and Wetlands Trust and the Odonata Foundation, along with partnerships with the ACT Government and Australian National University. 

Join us for this exclusive AAEE ACT twilight Winter Tour and step back in time with the Wildbark team, to explore a pre-european ecosystem. Learn all about the species that have been lost from the area, as well as the animals being brought back to resume their rightful place in our Box Gum Grassy Woodlands ecological community.
