The National Institute of Entomology hopes to hear from the Shire of Mitchell soon after presenting a proposal to the Mitchell Council on December 1st last year.
At the presentation, council was very receptive to the planned move by the Institute and is awaiting the final recommendations from council officers.
It is hoped that the move will be able to begin in the next 4 to 6 weeks.
Apologies for the late issue of NIOE News. Due to our director taking a well deserved holiday break in New Zealand,
the February Issue will be sent out on the 13th once he returns.
The National Institute of Entomology 2026 Courses and Programs will be commencing shortly. The National Bug Club enrollments are now open
as well as several important Courses for this Semester.
The Institute has also launched the Central Victorian Regional Invertebrate Collection On-Line Database which covers all terrestrial and aquatic
invertebrates held in our collections. This will be made available to public users via subscription and it is hoped that eventually, this resource will
become the primary site for researchers, ecologysts and other interested organisations.
