Joint Winners, Velvet Worm Award

I am very pleased to announce that on Sunday, 'Bird Observers North East (BONE)' were awarded the Velvet Worm Award from the Break O'Day Council and NRM North. We were the joint winners with the East Understory Network.

The Velvet Worm award is for outstanding achievement in the protection and enhancement of the environment in the Break O'Day region. This award also has a financial benefit....$500. Have a think about how we should use this and we will discuss over the next few months. My thoughts are to split the money between a piece of equipment (eg. wildlife camera approx $180) and a field trip/s (transport) with the balance.

Thank you for all your support and enthusiasm over the past 15 months.

Best birding wishes,

Liz
