SUMMARY:Black Cockatoo Conservation Centre Walk – Kaarakin\, Martin
DESCRIPTION:🖤 Black Cockatoo Conservation Centre Walk – Kaarakin\, Martin\n\nplease RSVP or scroll down to pay \n\nJoin members of the Darling Range Branch as we visit the Black Cockatoo Conservation Centre at Kaarakin plays a vital role in protecting some of Western Australia’s most iconic and endangered wildlife. Located in the Perth Hills\, the Centre is dedicated to the rescue\, rehabilitation\, and conservation of black cockatoos and other native species impacted by climate change\, habitat loss\, and urban development. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4\n\n\n\nVolunteers at the Centre currently care for around 200 animals\, many of which would otherwise be at serious risk of injury\, displacement\, or extinction. These passionate volunteers work year-round to provide expert care\, safe rehabilitation\, and long-term conservation solutions for wildlife that have lost their natural homes. \nDuring this guided walk\, participants will learn how the Centre supports black cockatoos by recreating and protecting essential nesting\, foraging\, and roosting sites—critical habitats that have been severely reduced or degraded over recent decades due to urban sprawl and land clearing. The walk offers valuable insight into the daily work of the volunteers and the innovative strategies being used to help these birds survive and thrive. \nHuman activity has had a massive and detrimental impact on black cockatoo populations in recent decades. Habitat loss and fragmentation remain the greatest threats facing all three species of black cockatoos in south-west Western Australia. This event provides an opportunity to better understand these challenges\, learn what is being done to address them\, and discover how individuals and communities can contribute to conservation efforts. \n✨ A meaningful and educational experience for nature lovers\, conservation supporters\, and anyone passionate about protecting Western Australia’s unique wildlife \nRSVP booking is essential as payment will be required prior to the visit – $25 per guest – Naturalist Club Inc Darling Range\, BSB 633-000 number 209590967 or ring the office for Card Payment \nBranch is subsidising members\, please contact 0402272868  re:  payment or difficulties with bank account

SUMMARY:Citizen Science is for everyone! - using iNaturalist to advance knowledge of our environment
DESCRIPTION:Do you want to add to the stock of knowledge of our wonderful local environment? Join the ‘citizen scientist’ movement and learn to use iNaturalist! \nIn this digital era\, we know that there are now better ways to share our nature observations than writing them down and filing the lists in a cupboard!  Most of us use our mobile phone to snap images of plants and animals. It is but a small step to upload them to the internet database iNaturalist Australia so the wider public (including scientists) can benefit from our observations. \nThe Club has had projects on the iNaturalist Australia since 2020\, as a way to share our observations with the wider community. We do this partly to discuss what we have observed\, partly to get expert opinions on identification\, and ultimately to contribute to the Atlas of Living Australia. \nIn this workshop you will learn from our experts how to set up the iNaturalist app on your phone and how to use it on your laptop. You will also learn how to make observations and how to search iNaturalist to identify what you’ve observed. \nPlease bring your smartphone and/or laptop / tablet and be knowledgeable of passwords to enable you to download from the app store (if not done before the workshop).
