Packed hall attends Bruny launch
Bruny Island
Inala, the Bruny Island Environment Network and Kuno have been working on an exciting project to crowd-source a field guide to the Natural history, stories and conservation needs of lunawanna - alonnah / Bruny Island.
They were excited to launch this project and invite the community to be involved, in a special event held in Adventure Bay hall on Saturday the 14th of September.
Dr Phill Pullinger - explained the Bruny Island project and how the online field guide is set-up to illustrate and enable people to contribute to a beautiful and comprehensive presentation of the stories, Natural values, ecology and conservation needs of the island
Dr Tonia Cochran - Inala's founder - explained the extraordinary ecology of Bruny Island, and the plants, landscapes and animals that make it an island of outstanding value on a global scale, a critical refuge for some of the world's rarest birds - such as the 40-spotted Pardalote and the Swift Parrot
Bob Graham - from the Bruny Island Environment Network - talked through the importance of slow observation of Nature's rhythms - and the incredible myriad of birds and habitat types that exist in just a tiny part of the island - such as the hinterland behind Adventure Bay or the coastal landforms and habitat types at the neck
Cat Davidson - from Inala gave a rousing call to take action for the plight of the nature of Bruny and the natural world at large - in particular emphasising how love of Nature is at the heart of its protection - and that spending time in nature, walking in nature, understanding nature is all a crucial part of motivating action
James Bunker - President of the Bruny Island Environment Network - outlined some of the incredible work that locals are doing to conserve Bruny's outstanding natural values. This work spans the eradication of feral cats, to planting trees for habitat, to building nest-boxes for some of the world's rarest birds to give them a fighting chance of survival
Dan Broun - had put together an extraordinary short film on Bruny outlined how people can get involved and help out - by chipping in or becoming a contributing author themselves, or to join an upcoming photography workshop on Bruny
Julius Schwing a composer and guitarist closed the event with a beautiful piece of music inspired by Bruny's landscapes
Acting to protect Nature is a bit like falling in love. You can't just read about it. You have to do it. - Cat Davidson
