Summary

The Canberra Ornithologists Group started life as the Canberra Branch of the Royal Australasian Ornithological Union in 1964. When the Union abolished its branches in 1970, the Group came into being, while remaining affiliated with the Union. Purposes of the Group are to encourage interest in the birds of the Canberra region, and promote research into, and conservation of, those birds. Membership is open to anyone interested in birds. The Group holds regular field trips, and conducts surveys. Publications include Canberra bird notes (ISSN 0314-8211) which has been published since 1968,and the monthly newsletter Gang gang. The Steve Wilson Medal, awarded since 2014, recognises persons who has made outstanding and sustained contributions to the Group. Wilson was a founder and Life member of the Group.
