We’ve invited Tanya Loos back and this will be our third bird walk with her. Tanya Loos is a field naturalist and nature writer - with a special interest in birds, flora, insects, reptiles, and mammals. We love her walks - she is super knowledgeable and a great guide. Members are invited to join us and location details will be shared in our April newsletter coming soon. Bring your own water, sunscreen and binoculars if you have them! Anyone who is not yet a Trentham Landcare Member can sign up here
