Celebrate Australian Pollinator Week by mapping biodiversity in your school.

Join us for a fun afternoon out in the Wetlands room at Canberra City Farm, using the Canberra Nature Map app to explore the pollinators out there and get you started on this exciting journey for you, your family and your school or community group.

In celebration of Australian Pollinator Week (9-17 November 2024), Canberra Nature Map administrator Dr Michael Mulvaney will guide us on  how to use Canberra Nature Map for Citizen Science activities at your school. Canberra Nature Map has been collaborating with schools in the ACT, where students record and upload the plants and animals near their school to build up a unique field guide and biodiversity rank. Records are identified by experts and contribute data to help on the ground outcomes across Australia. 

Julie Armstrong from ACT for Bees and Other Pollinators will give an overview of Australian Pollinator Week and why bees and other pollinators are so crucial to our food and biodiversity. Learn of actions we can all do to support their health and wellbeing and about the 'Love Food? Love Bees!' curriculum resources for Early Learning, Primary and Secondary students. Students are welcome to join us.

Thanks to Canberra City Farm for hosting us, Canberra Nature Map and ACT for Bees + Other Pollinators
