The North Queensland Natural History Group (NQNHG) has formed to learn, share and enjoy north Queensland’s natural history, and to support the sustainable management of the natural values of the region. NQNHG will share knowledge both among its members and the community at large, including traditional owners, pastoralists, conservation land managers and other interested parties. NQNHG will encourage participation by anyone with a passion for the natural riches of the region.
NEWS
NQNHG, with ornithologist Ray Pierce, have been successful with a citizen science grant for a 3 year study of a population of Gouldian Finches. Please contact us if you are interested in being involved. Here is the latest update on the project
Apart from the ongoing field work for the finch project we have had five other field events since the last update on this site. These include 3 field weekends: Barrabadeen Scout Camp at Lake Tinaroo 19-21 June 2020, Beatrice River Retreat 17-19th October 2020 and 154 Walsh River Rd 6-8 March 2021. We have also held two more "field evenings" at Beatrice River Retreat, one for bats and one for insects (although both evenings have yeilded many other interesting finds).
Please contact us to register interest in any of our activities.
