The project team for the 2020 Great Inland Glossy Count met this morning and have made the group decision to postpone the event at all three sites until February next year.

This decision was made due to concern for the safety of all participants due to the current conditions. As you would be aware, weather conditions are being heavily influenced by a La Nina weather pattern within eastern Australia this year. While the increased rainfall is greatly welcomed it has started to create some problems with surveys and events, with many roads within the project reserves are currently closed/impassable and more rain forecast. 

 

We also wanted to give as much notice as possible for those people travelling long distances to be involved. Could you please pass on this advice to club members.

 

The surveys are rescheduled for early next year. Dates for the postponed event are now

• Pilliga – 13^th February 2021
• Goonoo – 20^th February 2021
• Goobang – 27^th February 2021

Would be great if you are available to mark those dates in your diary and hopefully you will be able to assist with the rescheduled Counts. 

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

Many thanks

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…
