Donation to Bird’s Australia Bushfires and Birds seminar
For some years the Wildlife Preservation Society of Australia has sponsored seminars conducted by Birds Australia and in 2005 we provided this support again. The seminars have been of high quality in the past and the program in April 2005 was no exception. Birds Australia decided to hold the seminar in Canberra to provide a greater opportunity for their ACT members to participate and, following on from the serious bushfires in the ACT in 2003, the focus on birds and bushfires was appropriate.
