The creatures in your neighbourhood

Neighbourhood nature: discover the wild side of your suburb

Step outside and tune in to the hidden wonders of your local environment with this playful and inspiring talk from the Urban Field Naturalist Project.

From clever crows that recognise faces to ibises that sense the world through their bills, our cities and suburbs are teeming with fascinating creatures – if we know how to look. This session will introduce you to the quirky, surprising lives of the animals and plants living right outside your door.

This talk will be presented by Dr. John Martin, co-author of A Guide to the Creatures in Your Neighbourhood.

You’ll learn:

• Weird and wonderful facts about urban wildlife
• How co-existing responsibly with local native animals
• Simple ways to deepen your connection with the natural world – even on a walk to the letterbox!

Whether you're a curious beginner or a seasoned nature lover, this talk will open your eyes to the richness of life in your neighbourhood and inspire you to slow down, look closer and get involved.

All participants will receive FREE native plants to take home and create their own native garden.

Registrations for this event will open from 9am, 20 August.
