Rob at Conservation Matters was briefed to design an infographic sign for Glen Alice near the Capertee Valley. The area is well known for the rare Regent Honeyeater and the sign's raison d'etre is to promote awareness of this majestic bird and provide information about the local history, community and environment.
Pictured with the sign is Dr Kimberly Maute, Principal Ecologist, Ecosystems and Threatened Species, Department of Planning and Environment and Glen Alice Community representative Bruce Richardson.
NPWS Astills Picnic Area Sign
NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service recently upgraded their Atsills Picnic Area Site at Werakata National Park.

Hunter Region Botanic Gardens Sign
The DPIE commissioned Conservation Matters to design a sign for the Hunter Region Botanic Gardens (HRBG) that promotes awareness of the Regent Honeyeater, a threatended species that has been observed at the Gardens. The sign combines illustrations, a site map, features of the gardens and information on volunteering.
The Gardens are well worth a visit if you're in the Region.
Birding Guide to the Cessnock Woodlands Signs
The first batch of signs have now been installed around the Cesnock Woodlands.
The design by Conservation Matters is based on our Guide above and produced by Armsign.
The signs complement the Guide and give an insight into the local cultural and social history as well as bird life and flora and fauna of the area. Each sign has a QR code that links to the online Guide via the Hunter Bird Observers Club website.

NEWS: The Economics of Biodiversity: The Dasgupta Review
The long-awaited review by Prof Sir Partha Dasgupta, of the University of Cambridge, has called for transformational change in our economic approach to nature. It says prosperity has come at a "devastating" cost to the natural world and proposes recognising nature as an asset and reconsidering our measures of economic prosperity.
The review was commissioned by the UK Treasury but will be of interest to those with a passion for nature and the Environment.
