Myths about Mistletoe

In this video, Professor David Watson, Australia's leading mistletoe expert, and Mick Roderick, Woodland Bird Program Manager with Birdlife Australia, discuss significant woodland birds of the Hunter Valley, their habitat and the importance of mistletoe in supporting biodiversity. The video also addresses some common misconceptions about mistletoes.

The presentations were filmed at a Hunter Local Land Services workshop, 'Myths About Mistletoe', in Merriwa and in the field at Goulburn River National Park on 28 November 2020.
