PLANTS & INSECTS: pollination and insect-eating plants

Atlas Naturalists presentations

Saturday afternoon, 9th November (2-5pm Tura Marrang Library, Tura Beach)

Plant-animal interactions are fundamental to ecological systems. They are at the heart of carbon-cycling and they drive the evolution of species diversity.

Everyone is welcome to join us for this special two-part presentation and discussion. Norm Morrison will help us better understand plant pollination and Roger Farrow will introduce us to the lives of insectivorous plants.

FURTHER DETAILS HERE, including a little bit about the presenters.

INSECT RAMBLE in Eden

a special event with visiting ecologists and local naturalists

Sunday 10th November (from 10am)

Join naturalists, entomologists and ecologists in an exploration of diverse ecosystems in the heart of Eden. The Lake Curalo Foreshore Reserve is a biodiverse patch of regenerating wetland and edge habitat within Eden’s town boundaries. The Reserve is a refuge for a variety of birds – but we will be on the search for butterflies, beetles, grasshoppers and bugs. Any small creatures we can find, with wings or without.

We are delighted to have Dr Roger Farrow, Stuart Harris and Harvey Perkins joining us, helping us in our search and sharing their enthusiasm for insects and other invertebrates.

This event is hosted by the Bega Valley Shire Council, in collaboration with the Atlas of Life in the Coastal Wilderness.

Bring your lunch, camera and perhaps your binoculars.

FULL DETAILS HERE, including where to meet and what to bring.
