Project Officer Position Available - Sydney
Date: Friday 09 April, 2010
The Birds in Backyards Program (a Birds Australia project) has been actively undertaking urban bird research and education in the greater Sydney area since 2000. Since that time it has developed many resources used to engage the general community in conservation, including the Birds in Backyards website, the Guidelines for Enhancing Urban Bird Habitats and various workshop series.
We are currently seeking a project officer to manage a NSW Environmental Fund grant project entitled Does Biodiversity Education Work? A case study using urban birds. This project will document the educational aims of projects associated with the Birds in Backyards resources, and measure audience engagement, behavioural and attitudinal change following participation in these projects. The outcomes of our evaluations, both with teachers and interested public audiences, will be used to develop recommendations for improving educational activities. These will be presented and modelled in a workshop series for environmental educators.
