Valued Partnerships

The Phascogale Project would not be possible without the ongoing support from a range of organisations and individuals. I would like to acknowledge my two supervisors, Ross Goldingay (Southern Cross University) and Rodney van der Ree (Ecology and Infrastructure International). 
 

I work closely with the Victorian Brush-tailed Phascogale Coordinating Group (WERPP) including Jerry Alexander, Peter Johnson, Donna McMaster, Andrew Arnold, Colin Cook, Ruth Marr, Warren Murphy and several others.

​

Assistance from Albert Golden (Macedon Ranges Conservation Society) and Karen Thomas (Bendigo Field Naturalists) has been essential for this project. Their knowledge on Phascogale behaviour has been vital.

​

Support from local governments in Victoria is also greatly appreciated including Macedon Ranges Shire Council, Greater Bendigo Shire Council and Mount Alexander Shire.

​

Thank you to Connecting Country (Tanya Loos) who have provided support in initiating the project. The Friends of Bald Hill Reserve have also been an asset for this project.

​

The Victorian Field Naturalists Club of Victoria have provided essential funds for purchase of radio collars.

​

Thank you to the kind private residents who have allowed me to use their beautiful bush blocks for my research. Jan, Jane and Albert.
