Dr Penny Olsen 'The Norfolk Island Morepork: rebuilding a population from the last survivor’ - POSTPONED Thursday, 3 February 2022 - 12:30pm

Penny, is an Honorary Professor in Division of Ecology and Evolution, ANU.  In 1986 she organised a group to visit Norfolk Island and conduct a search for the Morepork. But what do you do with only one owl?  A recovery program began and today a small population persists.

This talk will be held in the ANBG Theatrette. Bookings are essential because of the COVID-19 guidelines related to Thursday Talks and limited seating. Tickets are free.

Unfortunately, the spread of the Omicron variant of COVID-19 has made it necessary to postpone all February Thursday Talks. A new date will be announced.
