A Wildlife Workshop on the topic of "the role of the amateur naturalist in science and conservation" was held on 7 June 2008. This event was hosted by Wildlife Tourism Australia  with speakers from both Logan and Albert Conservation Association LACA and WTA.

Tricia Belcher, a professional nature photographer as  first speaker described her interest in nature photography and its importance to document animal and plant life for a number of reasons.

She displayed a number of her photographs in particular their importance in relation to documenting events such as the recent aerial spraying incident in Kerry Valley that has had such devastating effects on the environment.

Local zoologist Ronda Green delivered an informative address. She is particularly keen to establish a local natural history group to encourage and support  wider community observation and recording skills of our sometimes elusive wildlife.
