Come along with the Urban Ecology Team from Inner West Council and champion of ecological literacy, biodiversity, and conservation: Dr Eliza Middleton as we discover the creepy crawlies and other plants and animals that live inside the walls of Camperdown Cemetery.

Together we'll explore the cemetery. uncover special plants, maybe encounter animals, set traps to count insects and learn why this place has unique biodiversity and how it connects to humans in the city.
