Upcoming events

Cold Country Koala Karaoke Project

UMLC is partnering with the NSW Koala Strategy and Local Land Services (LLS) to deliver Southern Tablelands Koala Karaoke Citizen Science project. The project is supported by the Department of Planning and Environment through the NSW Save Our Species program

The Koala Karaoke project has been running across the Southern Tablelands over the last four years. The surveys have confirmed koala hotspots and detected koalas in some unexpected areas. Koala surveys use audio recorders to detect male koala bellows between October and February. Koalas are known to move throughout our region and cross our rivers, so if you have treed remnants on your property and would be interested in participating in the koala survey we are keen to hear from you.

Please register your interest through Georgeanna at upper.murrumbidgee@gmail.com or on 0429 779 928.
