Guest speaker: Ben Davis-MacAndrew
Ben Davis-MacAndrew works professionally as a bush regenerator and Habitat for Wildlife Project Officer with the Community Environment Network. Using his degree in Environmental Science and Management, Ben has supervised a myriad of habitat restoration and revegetation projects throughout the Central Coast. His interest for more sustainable living has seen him working closely with local community groups to provide and maintain community garden spaces. In order to further pursue his passion for conservation and sustainability, Ben has recently started his own small business offering native stingless bee hives and environmental education workshops, where he aims to empower his local community with the skills and knowledge to live more harmoniously with nature.
Join Ben, The Wild Pollinator in this family friendly event to learn all about the weird and whacky, supremely diverse and beautifully beneficial insects of suburbia. We’ll delve into insect pollinators and beneficial bugs, the roles they play and how to support habitat for healthy ecosystems.
