Visit Yass Valley

Join Murrumbateman Landcare and the wider Yass Area Network of Landcare Groups (YAN) in recognising Sue McIntyre with this year’s John Betts Awards.

To be followed by an inspiring talk on butterflies by Dr Suzi Bond – a leading expert in butterfly and other invertebrate ecology.

In this talk, Suzi will start with some general butterfly basics before highlighting common species, as well as some of the lesser-known gems, which ecosystems are important for specialist species, and she will share the stories of local species.

There are almost 100 species of butterflies recorded in the local area, and Suzi will explain some of the threats facing butterflies, recommended conservation measures, and why citizen scientists have such a critical role to play.
