Join us at a Canberra Writer’s Festival event!

Join ornithologist and author Jenny Evans on a bird watching walk around the National Botanic Gardens. How does nature writing help species live beyond the page? And what might we do to bolster our collective memory and guard against vanishing birdsong?

Jenny can also be joined for a conversation between Johanna Bell and Jennifer Pinkerton after the bird walk which can be purchased separately.

There are sessions for this talk on 18 October 2026:
