This vegetation monitoring project will involve the following practical opportunities for participation:
Part 1: Saturday 21st August 2021 at Currawong Bush Park Conference Centre & bushland ~1-4pm.
• This is a three hour field day with John Harris from Wildlife & Ecology where you will learn about the project, the purpose of monitoring changes to vegetation condition over time, and discuss deer signs and impacts to vegetation communities, flora, fauna and their habitat. The field day will involve a workshop in the conference centre followed by refreshments and then a practical hands-on session in the bushland demonstrating the monitoring methodology that will be undertaken across the project area.

Part 2: Late Aug / early Sep – 1 Nov 2021 – field work across private & public land in the Jumping Creek catchment area.
• Participants will have a chance to volunteer their time to assist Wildlife & Ecology to undertake hands-on assessments monitoring 40 vegetation plots across private and public land. Volunteers have the opportunity to contribute and learn vegetation monitoring skills through collecting information on deer impacts to vegetation communities, structure, composition and abundance of flora life-forms and species.
