1. large forest owls - Oct
6th

Hello members and supporters who
live in East Gippy
The below owl presentation by
Rohan should be very interesting. Our sister group from Bairnsdale is hosting
this night. As the blurb says, owls are hard to study and little is known about
them. So their protection, is still mostly guess work (convenient when logging
is considered far more important). Rohan has some fascinating new info after his
5 years of owl prowling. EEG members would be most welcome to
attend.

Home Range, Habitat Usage and
Conservation of Large Forest Owls in East Gippsland
By Rohan Bilney
Monday October 6th at
7:30pm
DSE
Offices 574 Main St Bairnsdale
Large Forest Owls in Australia are
nocturnal, wide ranging, naturally uncommon and elusive, consequently little is
known about their ecology.
This is of considerable concern,
because it is essential to understand how Large Forest Owls utilize resources in
order to develop appropriate conservation strategies. Large Forest Owls
therefore present a challenge to land managers to appropriately conserve these
species whilst mitigating land management practices, which are potentially
threatening processes.
For five years Rohan Bilney, PhD
student in Life & Environmental Sciences at Deakin University, has been
conducting ecological research on Sooty Owls, Masked owls and Powerful Owls in
East Gippsland.
Rohan will be presenting key
aspects of his research on Monday October 6th at 7:30 pm, at Room 1, DSE offices
574 Main St Bairnsdale.
