Spring / Summer 2020 |
Monitoring season |
It's ON |
The 2020 monitoring season is continuing subject to strict coronavirus protocols
under the VMRG's COVIDSafe Plan, and with the welcome support of Parks
Victoria, who regard the malleefowl monitoring program as essential
scientific research. Monitoring volunteers should obtain a copy or the VMRG COVIDSafe plan and President's letter from the National Database, or with their 2020 monitoring packs. Stage 4 movement restrictions no longer apply to volunteers based in metropolitan Melbourne and thus a Permitted Worker Permit signed by the VMRG President, Vice-President or Safety Officer is no longer required. For more details, contact VMRG Safety Officer Ross Macfarlane, or your designated equipment officer (Greg, John or Paul). |
