Discover the Nightlife of Folland Park

Step into the quiet magic of Folland Park Reserve with ecologist Jason van Weenen for the Great Southern Bioblitz. This is a rare opportunity to explore a protected area of original Mallee and native pine woodland that once covered the Adelaide Plains, offering a vital snapshot of pre-colonial biodiversity and to observe the hidden nocturnal life of moths, bats and other critters.

Gain hands-on citizen science experience as you learn to document data and better understand the special creatures that call your local parkland home.
