What presentations will feature in this virtual symposium?

Aimed at wildlife gardeners and conservationists looking to learn about garden science research and make evidence-based gardening interventions to support biodiversity.

  • Understand how gardens function as complex ecosystems, supporting plants, invertebrates, vertebrates, fungi, and freshwater life across urban and suburban landscapes.

  • Apply evidence-based wildlife gardening practices that measurably benefit pollinators, birds, mammals, bats, fungi, and other taxa.

  • Recognise trade-offs, risks, and unintended consequences in common gardening and wildlife-support practices, including feeding, planting, and habitat creation.

  • Use practical, research-led insights to design and manage gardens that enhance biodiversity while remaining functional, attractive spaces for people.
