SUMMARY:Book launch - Underground Lovers\, Encounters with Fungi
DESCRIPTION:BOOK LAUNCH – Underground Lovers – Encounters with Fungi \nAlison Pouliot will be giving a talk and launching her new book\, Underground Lovers. Come along to hear some stories from Alison’s adventures during the writing of the book and take a close look at the great line up of fungi on display. \nOnce overlooked\, fungi are the exhilarating new poster organisms reconfiguring our understanding of the natural word and capturing the public imagination. \nAlison’s new book\, Underground Lovers presents compelling questions and insights about fungi but is also an intimate celebration of their astonishing beauty and complexity. \nIt melds science and personal reflection to explore overlooked themes\, among them – fungi and fire\, fungi and climate change\, fungi and aesthetics\, fungi in ecosystem restoration\, and fungi and indigenous wisdom. The book explores fungi through first-hand stories – from the Australian desert to Iceland’s glaciers to America’s Cascade Mountains. We’ll dwell with fungal allies and aliens\, discover how fungi hold forests together\, and why humans are deeply entwined with these unruly renegades of the subterrain. \nWhat can we learn from the lives of fungi? Underground Lovers  brings us to our knees\, magnifier in hand\, to find out. \nDrinks and nibbles provided. Stay and catch up with friends and new acquaintances\, and take a close look at the  fungi on display.\nWhile this is a free event please register and let us know if you subsequently can’t attend. \nMore information 0427 287 285.

SUMMARY:Design a Solar Passive Home or Improving One You've Got at Riverside Vibes\, Albury
DESCRIPTION:We know that north-facing homes are ‘best’ but is it that simple?\nBased on a decade of working closely with building scientists and builders\, architect Sarah Lebner will walk you through solar-passive design\, addressing questions like ‘How much glass is too much?’\, ‘What if I have a west-facing view?’\, and ‘What if I want a big wrap-around verandah?’ Sarah will share insight from the perspective of new designs on ideal blocks\, new designs on tricky blocks\, and renovating/retrofitting existing homes. You are invited to bring along your current home’s floor plan\, or your ideas for a renovation/new build as you will be prompted to relate the information presented to your own home during the workshop. \nFor more information about Riverside Vibes visit:\nalburycity.nsw.gov.au/leisure/arts-and-culture/annual-events/riversidevibes/map-and-event-info

SUMMARY:1 million Turtles at Riverside Vibes\, Albury
DESCRIPTION:Freshwater turtles have declined by 60-90% across the Murray-Darling catchment. Foxes eat the vast majority of turtle eggs throughout the region\, and in some areas\, the predation pressure is so high that there are almost no young turtles left. At the same time\, adult turtles are killed by cars when they try to cross roads while out to nest or moving across the landscape. The 1 million program provides training modules on how everyone can contribute to helping turtles in Australia\, from recording turtle sightings on the TurtleSAT mobile phone app to protecting turtle nests directly. \nFor more information about Riverside Vibes visit:\nalburycity.nsw.gov.au/leisure/arts-and-culture/annual-events/riversidevibes/map-and-event-info
