Launching Fieldbook App Workshop (Augusta)

Join Nature Conservation Margaret River Region in launching a new mobile phone app that turns locals into citizen scientists contributing to weed monitoring and surveillance in the southwest region. In this free community workshop, we will explore how to identify some of the more common weeds in our region followed by a session on installing the app and collecting data in the field.

The information collated by Nature Conservation via the app will be shared with community groups and government departments to help map infestations and identify priority areas – leading to better, more informed decision making and monitoring.  

We want to encourage anyone in the community to get involved, particularly if you are already out and about recreationally in our bushland and national park area.  

Tea, coffee and light snacks will be provided.

Where to meet:

We will be meeting on the land to the west of the St John sub-centre. Please park on Donovan St and look out for our banner.
