Impact Hour – Michael Mulvaney & the Red Hill Regenerators

May 19 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm

This is a new monthly event, presented by SEE Change, Conservation Council ACT Region and Canberra Environment Centre.

This month: Red Hill Regenerators

Michael Mulvaney, long-time regenerator on Red Hill.

Michael will present a 30 minute talk, followed by Q&A and general networking.

The Dissent kitchen will be open.

Michael Mulvaney has been playing on Red Hill for over 60 years. The last 40 has been joyfully spent with the Red Hill Regenerators who have helped transform the Hill from an overgrazed cow paddock to high quality box-gum woodland. Michael has been amazed by what a small group of people can achieve and how they are a source of new knowledge and conduit for others to be involved in the care and love of he Hill. Even after all these years, every time he resumes his play, there is something new to learn and be surprised and delighted about. Ten years ago he didn’t even know that Gang-gangs nested on the Hill, now the regenerators have established that it is the Gang-gang capital of the world. 31% of all known nests of the species are on or in the near vicinity of the Hill. In trying to get their heads around how to manage for the Gang-gang the regenerators have become world experts on the little known species, and this is just one of the many adventures they have been on.
