Science in the Park seeking Nature Walk leaders
The Science in the Pub committee - a volunteer run science outreach group - is running an event for late primary/early secondary children called 'Science in the Park'.
The event will be on Sunday March 31 2019 at Tolosa Park, in the afternoon (exact times TBC).
The event will be a mixture of demonstrations in the music bowl, interactive stalls and bush tucker and nature walks. We have contacted the Field Nats because we are seeking people who would be willing to lead a nature walk - the length and type of nature walk can be flexible depending on your interests and availability, but ideally in the range of 30-45 minutes. We are confirming whether a Working with Children certificate is required, but we expect it is likely to be necessary for anyone leading an activity on the day.
If you are interested in leading a nature walk or would like more information, please contact Penny Jones at Penelope.Jones@utas.edu.au

Help to eliminate European Wasps from Mt Wellington Park
Recently while enjoying a walk on Mt Wellington, two of our members met one of the Park Rangers who was eradicating European Wasp nests. The Ranger requests that anyone who comes across a nest should contact him, and provide information on location of the next, by a GPS reading if available.
