If your school is interested in Field Trips, you
can either contact your local area office of the Department
of Conservation, or contact me directly and I can
assist you where I can.
We are very keen for local schools to actively take
on projects which can give direct benefit to the existing
remnant Brown Teal that may be in your area, or if
you live outside the limited current range of Brown
Teal and you are really adventurous you may also consider
getting involved in a potential introduction program.
