Wildlife Schools

Radio tracking frogs

Wildlife schools open to I&I NSW and staff from other agencies provide continuing training in the skills needed to carry out pre-logging survey programs as efficiently as possible. As well, these training sessions promote communication and understanding between Forests NSW and other agencies regarding current forest practices and management knowledge. The opportunity to provide training for staff from the regulatory agency enhances efficient communication and collaboration with Forests NSW.

Two “Frog, Bat and Reptile” survey, identification and management courses were run during the year: one at Dorrigo and the other at Kioloa. The courses were attended by Forests NSW staff, Department of Environment and Climate Change staff, members of the Commonwealth Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts and a large number of consultants.
