About
The eastern quoll is a nationally endangered marsupial, which has been declining at different rates across Tasmania since the turn of the century. Working with the University of Tasmania, WWF Australia and the Tasmanian Quoll Conservation Program, the Tasmanian Land Conservancy is helping spearhead an innovative research project aimed at understanding and reversing these declines, before the species is pushed to the brink. Using a combination of long-term landscape monitoring and targeted population supplementations, this project will help bolster eastern quolls in their last wild stronghold, while also providing guidelines for future restoration of this species on mainland Australia.
David is a Conservation Ecologist with the Tasmanian Land Conservancy (TLC), as well as an Adjunct Researcher with the University of Tasmania.

Venue
We use the rear entrance to the building and access is easy – from the corner of Grosvenor St and Alexander St (see red star and arrows on map) walk down the laneway on the northern side of the Law Building and enter via the sliding doors at the back of the building. There should be plenty of parking available close by along Grosvenor St just past View St or on Dobson Road which is one-way down (see green squares). Sometimes sports practice is taking a lot of the parking along Grosvenor Crescent by the oval. Bring a torch if you are worried about the footpaths.
On entry into the lower foyer please enter your name and phone number on the meeting attendance sheet. Access will be from 7.15pm.
Hope to see you there!
We acknowledge and pay our respects to the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we study natural history.
