Come on a fascinating walk and talk, followed by morning tea in the field. Friendly snakes may make an appearance.

In celebration of National Science Week, join local experts Professor Jonathon Webb (School of Life Sciences, The University of Technology Sydney) and Jack Hind (Herpetologist, Shoalhaven Landcare) for a forest walk. Explore the Shoalhaven Landcare Association’s pilot project installing false rock habitats on the Bundanon Homestead escarpment. Any biting questions from the walk? Chat further over morning tea.

 The Broad-headed snake is an endangered species, largely due to its unique habitat requirements. Residing under rocks on north-facing sandstone escarpments, its habitat is threatened by environmental destruction and the illegal theft of bush rocks, as well as poaching.

 Bundanon has been working with the Shoalhaven Landcare Association for several years to build and maintain habitats for these creatures across the Bundanon property.

 Please wear sturdy walking shoes and outdoor attire including a hat.
