Volunteers Needed!

Volunteer Opportunity - Emily Jarvis

Seeking volunteers to assist with fieldwork for my PhD project on the ‘Conservation Ecology of Threatened Macropods’. This will involve working and camping in remote areas of the Gondwana World Heritage rainforests in north-eastern NSW. Fieldwork activities may include: trapping native mammals, radiotracking animals, spotlighting, camera trapping and vegetation surveys.

Accommodation and travel from UoN Callaghan campus is provided, however volunteers will need to supply their own camping equipment and field gear.

1) 10-11 May

2) 22 May - 1 June

3) 12-19 June

4) 3-10 July

5) 24-31 July

6) 7-14 Aug

7) 28 Aug – 4 Sept

8) 18-25 Sept

No prior experience necessary, but I’ll be looking out for people with a strong interest in ecology and basic field skills. Any experience with environmental fieldwork, or flora and fauna ID would be a bonus!
