February 9: Living with Wildlife – The Good, the Bad and the Ugly – Adrian Caneris

At our first Friday Environment Forum for 2024, Adrian Caneris will take us on a journey around Queensland to look at the good, the bad, the ugly and uniquely Queensland wildlife and Queensland lifestyle and how we inevitably interact with wildlife.  From joyous encounters to just plain annoying critters, from the Great Barrier Reef to the Brisbane backyard, there is always something beautiful, strange, scary or just outright pesky; our wildlife is lurking everywhere we go. 

Adrian is engaged regularly to undertake ecological monitoring, wildlife management, biodiversity planning, feral species management and community liaison and facilitation. He has been involved in research, management, consulting, tertiary teaching and community-based studies of terrestrial ecology for over 35 years. His expertise is often called upon for matters before the Queensland Planning and Environment or Land Courts. 

Whilst there are always beautiful images of our natural wonders, when Adrian presents, no-one really knows what stories will be told, including Adrian! His presentations invite interactive discussions so that the audience gets answers about the various species specific to their interests or concerns. One thing is certain, you will be left smiling and a bit wiser about our wildlife, whilst laughing about our uniquely Queensland lifestyles.

Everyone is welcome to our first forum for the year on Feb 9th at the Noosa Parks Association Environment Centre, 5 Wallace Drive, Noosaville. The forum starts at 10:30am and morning tea is available from 10-10.25am. Entry is $5 by “tap & go” at the door. Morning tea/coffee is included. 

Join the bird observers at 8.30am in the carpark for interpretive birding.
