Andrew Styche - Ruru research
7.30 Chartwell Room, Hamilton Gardens, Cobham Drive.
Everyone welcome
This is a summary of findings after two years of a survey of moreporks within Hamilton City. The study is an example of urban ecology, the relationship between living organisms and their surroundings in the context of an urban environment.
The aim of the survey was to give the local ornithological society a project that they could do that was local, engage a wider community in the project and learn about the status of a charismatic native species in Hamilton. So, how did we do?
