Noisy Miner management workshops

Over-abundant Noisy Miners are recognised as a key threatening process for woodland birds due to their aggressive exclusion behaviour. BirdLife Australia is hosting a series of free, hands-on workshops in Denman, Gulgong and Grenfell, NSW, and Benallla and Chiltern, Victoria, to help landholders, land managers and bird enthusiasts understand how to manage Noisy Miner populations and support woodland bird diversity across regional NSW.

About the workshops

BirdLife Australia staff will present the Noisy Miner Management Guide and walk through practical steps for addressing over-abundant Noisy Miners on your property or in your area. Each workshop includes a self-drive field visit to a local site so participants can see real-world management in action.

Morning tea and/or lunch is provided at all sessions.

This project received grant funding from the Australian Government Saving Native Species Program
