Habitat Conservation and Management Course 2008

Greening Australia will be once again facilitating the renowned Habitat Conservation and Management Course (HCMC) in 2008 and we are seeking expressions of interest from potential participants.

HCMC aims to improve bushland management in Victoria by increasing participants’ understanding of bushland ecology and biology, and train them in the use of planning tools and management techniques.  HCMC has a reputation for being a hands on, practical and user-friendly bushland management course providing a basis for genuine on-ground outcomes.

Presenters Randall Robinson and Darcy Duggan together with other leading environmental educators have been delivering the course for over 15 years.

2007 Participant evaluations consistently stated that the program exceeded their already high expectations and more than met their needs.
