Guest speakers: Andrew McLean, executive officer of Landcare Victoria Inc., outlined the organisation’s plans for 2021.
Janine Duffy, founder of the “Koala Clancy Foundation”, spoke about techniques to encourage more koalas to visit the Barrabool Hills. The Foundation is now partnering with landcare communities to build “koala corridors” and Heike and Mark are participating in this program in 2021. Janine related how her Group had cleared woody weeds in the You Yangs to enable koalas to migrate from tree to tree. She also related how she discovered a method, based on facial features, to recognise one koala from another.

Whilst the evening was a chilly one, and the fire pit became a focal point, a great time was had by all, and our thanks to Mark and Heike for their hospitality.
