Speaker:
Poppy Mahon – Youth activist from Youth Action for Wildlife, advocating for change to protect native species from harmful rodenticides.
Topic:
Poppy was involved with the Big Challenge – Wildlife Friendly Rodent Control Forums, a family-friendly community event focused on protecting our waterways, wildlife, and pets from harmful rodent control methods. There were three forums held in 2025.
Poppy will talk about the information learned from these forums and will give us an update on where we are at with rodenticides.
Plus:
- Focus/ Boffins talk – A member will give a short talk.
- “Nature road show”. Members and visitors are encouraged to bring items to place on the display table or to send photographs to the MC in advance, e.g. a sample flower, an insect, and so on – anything of natural history interest that has legally been obtained. If you wish to show a photograph, please email it, no later than the Wednesday before the meeting, to our MC for this night, and she/he will include it on her PowerPoint slides. We have a dedicated email for this purpose natclub@webco.com.au
