The branch, which is an extension of the bird conservation charity BirdLife Australia, is holding its next event on March 28, at the East Bowral Community Centre.

Greening Australia program specialist Ian Rayner will be the guest speaker.

Mr Rayner is also involved in the Wall to Wollondilly project, where BLSH took part in regular seasonal surveys along the Wingecarribee River, and planted trees.

The night kicks off at 7.30pm, and people do not have to RSVP.

People can introduce themselves, chat, enjoy tea, coffee and light refreshments afterwards, and do not have to join right away.

BirdLife Southern Highlands also hosts birdwatching walks throughout the year in wetlands, heathlands, nature reserves, national parks and local forests.

The group has hosted events for school students as part of Wingecarribee Schools Environment Day, taken part in BirdLife Australia's annual Aussie Bird Count, counted birds regularly along the Mittagong Creek and conducted surveys as part of the National Snipe Project.
