<a href="https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/gumfest-talks-dyeing-with-eucalypts-tickets-523320956067" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"></a>Sue Morris from Bat Rescue Inc will be giving a presentation on flying foxes, their essential role as keystone species pollinators and seed dispersers, and how some Australian eucalypts have evolved to favour pollination by bats. Like most Australian wildlife, our bats are all under threat from habitat loss, climate change, and many human hazards, which keep Bat Rescue&#x27;s volunteers busy with rescue, rehabilitation, orphan raising and release, education and habitat conservation. You will also have the opportunity to meet Bat Rescue&#x27;s &quot;showgirls&quot; - licensed education flying-foxes Bonnie and Phoebe.
