David Farrar: Creating Habitat in Your Backyard

David Farrar is a local park ranger, twitcher and, unsurprisingly, a conservationist. Spending time in the Otways, Brisbane Ranges and Kinglake National Parks he has amassed a great understanding of natural history. He has also been involved in studies of the Asiatic Black Bear in China and Tibet.

Back home, it's the birds that command his focus - and he'll tell the tale of how he has improved the biodiversity of his Walkerville home over the past decade to give them the habitat they need to stay close.
