Redlands Coast Koala Watch 
Hi Koala Watchers,
Join us for a free science in action community forum
We are bringing the community and researchers together to talk about Redlands Coast koalas and how current research projects are helping to protect urban populations. You’re all invited and we’d love to see you there.
Join us to hear more about the latest research and developments directly from the research teams. You’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions of our expert panel.
The forum will be hosted by Ranger Stacey and is a hybrid event, so you can join in-person or online.
