• ADMINISTRATIVE/ BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY
  
  The Gould League is an independent Australian organisation promoting environmental education, originally founded in Victoria in 1909 and named after the English ornithologist John Gould. When formally established in 1909 the Gould League of Bird Lovers as it was originally called was devoted to bird protection. After the 1960s the League focussed on more general environmental education and the name Gould League was adopted without specific reference to birds.
