Wild In Bayside - Reptile Community of Bayside and SE Suburbs

We are Bayside (Melbourne, Australia) residents active in conserving local native fauna, through community engagement, surveys, research, and advice.

Friends of Native Wildlife Inc.

Our popular "Wild In Bayside" events continue in March with a talk on the reptiles of our area.
Dr Matt Anderson will discuss the reptiles found in Bayside and south-eastern Melbourne. He will add insight into the behaviour and social lives of the lizard species. He also will discuss a project of the Field Naturalists Club of Victoria surveying the small mammal and herpetofauna of south-eastern parks (including Braeside) for Parks Victoria.
Matt Anderson, a herpetologist and behavioural ecologist with a Ph.D. in Zoology, primarily studies the social and anti-predatory behaviours of lizards of the Southwestern US. He currently works as a teaching associate at Monash University in both the first-year biology lab practicals and the science communication and practice unit. Since moving to Australia, he has been an active member of Birdlife Bayside and Field Naturalist Club of Victoria where he does what he enjoys most - looking for and learning about nature.
This event will include the Annual General Meeting of Friends of Native Wildlife.
