Friends of Glebe Wetlands BioBlitz
Event description
Come join in this three-day citizen science event as we conduct surveys of the extensive biodiversity at Bega's Glebe Wetlands including fauna and flora.
The wide range of wildlife to be surveyed will include mammals (Grey-headed flying-fox), birds, frogs, insects and invertebrates. Surveys will be led by qualified and experienced scientists and naturalists with the expertise to guide you in collecting data. This data will be useful in supporting the conservation and management of this important local biodiversity hotspot. All activities are free.
Below is the schedule of surveys and activities, to register for each head to TICKETS. We look forward to seeing you!
