Great Southern BioBlitz: Fauna, Flora, Fungi Foray

Join the Great Southern BioBlitz and capture on photo all fauna, flora and fungi in Moore Park, be it a frog, a turtle, a bird, a possum, native plants (or weeds) or a mushroom and record.

We kindly ask you download inaturalist onto your smart device to record the local natural wealth and to add to an ever growing database. This activity runs throughout the morning. We are at hand to help with some identifications, but inaturalist will do most of the work. For our butterfly enthusiasts we have nets to temporarily catch and ID (and photograph) our lepidoptera which are quite abundant in Moore Park thanks to the work of the local bushcare groups. There is lots to discover, enjoy and learn on the day. Tackle it in groups, as family or as individual.

Of course, we have refreshments and some nourishments waiting for you.

Be sun smart, wear protective clothing and closed in shoes. Don't forget the insect repellent.

This event is supported by the Moore Park and Taringa Parade Bushcare Groups, the Cubberla-Witton Catchments Network, Brisbane's Big Butterfly Count, Council's Community Partnerships Program and the Lord Mayor's Environment Fund through Cr Penny Wolff. We are very grateful.

Check out the other citizen science events during this Great Southern Bioblitz at Moore Park. Some activities run side by side to cater for special interests or are especially designed for children.

See you at the Bioblitz!
