ORM Talks: The regent honeyeater | Orange
Join us at Orange Regional Museum for ORM Talks featuring guest speaker Dr Ross Crates.
Dr Crates is a Postdoctoral fellow with the Difficult Bird Research Group at the Australian National University, whose research investigates the dynamics, monitoring, and conservation genomics of local species the Regent Honeyeater.
This event coincides with Orange Regional Museum’s temporary installation of The Birds of Australia STORYBOX. Created by the Australian Museum, this outdoor 3D storytelling cube brings to life the iconic bird illustrations of John and Elizabeth Gould together with First Nations storytelling and knowledges.
Orange Biodiversity Month - Plants, animals, fungi, ecosystems...
Wild and vast or small and special. Biodiversity is the variety of life on earth and it’s essential for our lives.
The Orange region is home to a multitude of landforms that provide a wide range of habitats for biodiversity. During the month of September, we’re celebrating this biodiversity through a number of events for Orange Biodiversity Month.
