Science In The Sanctuary

Science in the Sanctuary is BACK this National Science Week! Join us at Wildbark Learning Centre on Saturday 17 August 2024 from 2:30–5:30 pm for an afternoon of exciting insights into the fascinating world of Mulligans Flat Woodland Sanctuary. Hosted by the Woodlands and Wetlands Trust, this event showcases ground-breaking research from the Mulligans Flat–Goorooyarroo Woodland Experiment partnership, featuring representatives from the Ngunnawal people, ACT Government, ANU, and the Trust.

Delve into an array of fascinating topics including First Nations science, eastern quoll habitat and diet, bush stone-curlew population dynamics, kangaroo management, pookila conservation, and a southern brown bandicoot reintroduction (coming soon!). Learn about other success stories from sanctuaries across Australia.

Fuel up with lunch at the Wildbark Cafe beforehand, and be ready for an afternoon of engaging science and discovery. Enjoy coffee and fruit platters throughout the event. Following the talks you can support us further by adding on a Twilight Tour Ticket, where from 6pm we will adventure into Mulligans Flat Sanctuary at night - this is your chance to see our incredible nocturnal critters in their natural habitat.
