_thumb.jpg) Bush Skills for the Hills is a series of free, hills-focused workshops for the community. The workshops are a refreshing mix of information and practical hands-on sessions designed to give participants both the 'WHY' and 'HOW' of managing land, bush and creeks in the hills environment.
The next Bush Skills for the Hills workshops are:
BUSHCARE BASICS

TIME: 9.30 am start (lunch provided)
VENUE: Lake Leschenaultia, Rosedale Road, Chidlow
You’ve heard of the Global Financial Crisis but did you know that there is a Global Frog Crisis? Birds and snake numbers are also diminishing. Frogs and birds are indicators of the health of the environment, so why is this decline happening? Come along and learn about what you can do to help frogs in your own backyard and in the bush; find out why snakes are an integral part of the hills natural environment; discover the different conservation issues that impact on birds in the hills. If you spend any time outside or in the bush then you owe it to yourself to join us to find out more.
