    PROJECTS - 2010


Dubbo Field Nats are currently working on a number of projects, reviewed every 6 months.

For 2010, these will be:

  • Dubbo Birds in Backyards Brochure - a brochure was produced by DFNCS for distribution to Dubbo residents. This aims to raise the community profile of urban and semi-urban bird species, including threatened species.  Supported by the Birds in Backyards organisation, Birds Australia, Australian Museum, and sponsored by the Central West CMA with brochure distribution assistance from Dubbo City Council. 

  • Dubbo Enviro forum 2010 - an event is planned in September that will focus on one part of environmental awareness in and around Dubbo.  The tentative area of focus is the aquatic ecosystems (Rivers, wetlands) .

  • Flora and Fauna of Dubbo Booklet. This will include new Flora and fauna information and update the flora and fauna parts of the Dubbo Field Naturalists out of print publication "Natural History of the Dubbo Region".

  • Revision of the Dubbo Bird Routes Brochure - a revision of the brochure is planned.

  • Glossy Black-cockatoo Surveys - DFNCS members are involved in an ongoing survey of Glossy Black-cockatoo numbers in Goonoo Forest.  This has been occurring since 1994 and will continue to be supported by the club.
