PLATYPUS EDUCATION SESSIONS FOR ALBURY-WODONGA SCHOOLS
| Interested schools and community groups in the Albury-Wodonga area are invited to apply for a free platypus education session in May or August 2013. |
|
The Australian Platypus Conservancy has been studying the platypus population in the Murray River since 2010, in partnership with Norske Skog. This project involves APC biologists visiting the area to carry out visual surveys in the early morning and late afternoon. During the day, the APC also gives education sessions at schools and, in the evenings, illustrated talks to community groups. These sessions cover interesting facts about platypus biology and key conservation messages related to the species and are provided free of charge thanks to Norske Skog’s sponsorship.
