Southern Brown Bandicoots
in the Mt Lofty Ranges
Background
Jasmin Packer from the University of Adelaide is researching the impact of blackberry on habitat for the endangered Southern Brown Bandicoot. She is seeking volunteers to assist with bandicoot surveys in the Adelaide Hills during December and January.
Each survey includes setting up sites, 5 nights live trapping of bandicoots, animal handling, invertebrate and vegetation surveys, then packing and cleaning traps. Experience is not essential, although a positive attitude and good level of fitness is!
Limited places are available, and priority is given to people with experience in fauna surveys.
