Join Corangamite CMA, Barwon Water and the Upper Barwon Landcare Network for a hands-on citizen science event helping to monitor one of Australia's most iconic and elusive species, the platypus.

Using environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling techniques, participants will help collect valuable data from waterways across the Barwon River Catchment. The information gathered will contribute to a growing dataset that helps scientists and land managers better understand platypus distribution and habitat use, while informing future waterway restoration, environmental water management and infrastructure planning.

No previous experience is required. Training and equipment will be provided on the day.

This is a great opportunity to learn about platypus monitoring, contribute to real scientific research and connect with others who care about the health of our local waterways.
