SUMMARY:Cheryl Lohr on feral cat control
DESCRIPTION:Note: no RSVP required.\n\nSpeaker: Cheryl Lohr – DRB member\n\n\nCheryl originally hails from a farm in the wheatbelt and is now a Senior research scientist in the Animal Science Program at DBCA.

She chases boodies\, mala\, possums\, and golden bandicoots in circles trying to count them\, while also still trying to figure out how to eliminate the feral cats. She’s had great success with the first successful reintroduction of boodies to the open landscape! The main site where Cheryl works was known as Lorna Glen\, but after a huge amount of work with traditional owners\, volunteers\, and students the area is now the Matuwa Kurrara Kurrara\nNational Park. In recent years the job has grown again and you can now find Cheryl working to conserve threatened fauna almost anywhere in the Goldfields.\n\n\n\n\nTopic:\n\n\nCheryl will be giving a presentation on the history of Australia’s longest running feral cat control program\, the lessons learned\, and an accounting of the many threatened species that are showing strong signs of recovery on Matuwa Kurrara Kurrara National Park.\n\n\n\n\nPlus:\n\nFocus/ Boffins talk – Tanya Marwood (member) will give a 10-min talk about a trip to Tasmania in Feb.\n“Nature road show”.
