This is a fascinating watch (approx. 50 minutes) with Q&A and guest speakers:

  • Gayle Osborne and Trevor Speirs from Wombat Forestcare 

  • John Walter from Malmsbury Landcare

  • Biolinks Alliance’s Dr Chris Pocknee

Glideways in Central Victoria Webinar 

The plight of gliders, from the cat-sized Greater Glider to the miniscule Feathertail Glider, capture the hearts and minds of many people across our region. Don't miss the chance to learn more about these adorable creatures (many of which are threatened) and some of the initiatives to protect them in this webinar, Glideways in Central Victoria.

Another informative webinar (approx. 45 mins) with Q&A and expert presenters:

  • Ecologist, Dr. Chris Pocknee (Biolinks Alliance)
    Chris will offer an overview of Glideways in Central Victoria as a whole and introduce one of Victoria’s threatened glider species - the Squirrel Glider. Chris will also touch on projects that Biolinks Alliance is partnering on to understand the distribution of Squirrel Gliders in Central Victoria and how local communities can work to ensure these populations persist.

  • Ecologist, Bertram Lobert (Strathbogies Ranges Conservation) - Bert is an experienced ecologist with particular expertise on the arboreal mammals of the region. Bert will talk about two Greater Glider monitoring projects in the Strathbogies region with contrasting results and discuss some of the reasons for their different findings.
