Learn about the amazing local species that your garden or property can provide a refuge for - and, importantly, what you can do to minimise conflicts that sometimes arise from sharing our space with native critters.

A dedicated Question and Answer section with your presenter provides you the chance to ask your questions. 

Your presenter
We're lucky to have Tanya Loos, author of the fascinating book 'Living with Wildlife', join us as our guest presenter. Whether it be via writing, radio or giving presentations, Tanya loves drawing from ecological science to educate and inspire people to care about wildlife and wildlife habitat. She has worked as a Woodland Bird Project Coordinator for Connecting Country and Biodiversity Projects Officer for Macedon Ranges City Council - and at present she is Avian Influenza Response Coordinator at BirdLife Australia.

Tanya loves sharing nature knowledge about how to live more harmoniously with the animals that live where we live - and how our homes and backyards can be safe havens in a time of climate breakdown. Whether you have a bird attacking a window, phascogales harassing your chickens, or a visiting venomous snake in the backyard, Tanya believes there are simple steps we can take that are wildlife friendly and make sure your place is a haven!

This is the fourth webinar in our 2025 Monthly Webinar Series. This year we're continuing to bring together experts and restoration practitioners working on exemplary projects to challenge conventions and share practical experiences for ecological repair.
