Hi

 

Please see the advice below about the upcoming 2020 Great Inland Glossy Count. I would appreciate it if you could send provide this information to interested club members.

 

The Great Inland Glossy Count is back again in 2020. This is part of a project aiming to secure the inland population of the Glossy Black Cockatoo in NSW, coordinated by the Central West Local Land Services in partnership with NSW NPWS, Forest Corp NSW and the Dubbo Field Naturalists.

Similar to last year, the count will be run on the first three weekends in November 2020. Dates for the surveys this year are as follows:

  • 7 November - Pilliga Forests and surrounds (registrations close on 4 November)
  • 14 November - Goonoo National Park and surrounds (registrations close on 11 November)
  • 21 November - Goobang National Park and surrounds (registrations close on 18 November)

This year, due to COVID-19 restrictions, all participants are required to register via the NPWS Volunteer portal. Details about the count and links to the registration portal can be found at https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/things-to-do/events/the-great-inland-glossy-count.  

Registered participants will be emailed further information about how the surveys will be run during the week prior to each count.

The project team is looking for volunteers to assist with the counts on one or more of those weekends. As per last year, you can choose to be involved in one or more of the count weekends as suits you best. This is a great opportunity to visit some of our inland National Parks and state forests as part of a large scale citizen science project. The only equipment required are a pair of binoculars, a notepad and the ability to travel to the site. https://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/news/polly-want-a-counter

If you have any questions please email either May Fleming or myself (m("environment.nsw.gov.au","Adam.Fawcett");">).

Cheers and thanks

 

Adam…
