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 the initiatives to protect them at our upcoming webinar, Glideways in Central Victoria.

This is the second webinar in our 2024 monthly series (note, the first webinar booked out quickly, so best to register now!).

What is our 2024 monthly webinar series?

Our 2024 monthly webinar series explores topics that challenge conventions on conservation issues facing Central Victoria and beyond, and aims to educate and mobilise people to take action for our environment.

Why attend Glideways in Central Victoria Webinar?

Glideways in Central Victoria is an ambitious, collaborative program that looks to protect and restore habitat for gliders and phascogales in our region. At this upcoming webinar, learn about this initiative, along with some of the great work being done to understand where threatened gliders live in our landscape and what can be done to protect their future.

The webinar includes a Q&A with our 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.
