Ian Hutton & The Pristine Lord Howe Island: Conservation Management at its Best

Thursday, October 8th 6:30 PM

Just a quick flight from the mainland of Australia, there’s a tiny island that boasts extraordinary terrestrial and marine ecosystems and exotic plants and animals you can only see if you go there — or you join us at The Water’s Edge on October 8th. This year’s speaker is Ian Hutton — island naturalist and conservationist, researcher, ecotourism pioneer, brilliant photographer and the keeper of the UNESCO World Heritage site, Lord Howe Island.

Experience the pristine Lord Howe Island for yourself and hear how it has managed to stay that way.
