Event - Truffles bandicoot talk

More about this event:

Bandicoots are native marsupials who you might have met foraging for grubs, roots or fungi in your garden. However, our little diggers have developed a taste for expensive French black truffles, costing farmers up to $20k a year. Learn how Annabel Ellis, a PhD student at the University of Sydney, has used marsupial friendly strategies to discourage their gourmet taste. Find out how human-wildlife conflict can be resolved with benefit to both.
Please note the venue for this event is Braidwood Servicemens Club & Golf Course at 15 Victory St, Braidwood, NSW.
