The Green Link is a proposed linear park following the route of the Sandringham rail corridor from South Yarra to Gardenvale. It would use existing public open space and walking paths, and expand these by connecting and linking existing open space and enhancing tree canopy.
Our guest speaker, Justin Halliday, has lived in St Kilda East and nearby all his life. He has worked in the creative industries and project management, and has been active in environmental and climate change communities, especially in his local council of Port Phillip. He is a major contributor to the proposal for the Green Link project.
Free for FoNW members.
Microbats are everywhere, but they are small and difficult to see. They come out as the sun sets to hunt for insects using echolocation.
Join Friends of Native Wildlife at Dendy Park to look for these flying mammals. Wander around with us and our bat detectors as the sun sets. The detector allows us to hear their ultrasonic calls. If you are really lucky, you might even be able to see them flying in the dark.
