Do you use a smartphone? Karen will introduce the why’s and wherefores of recording your observations using your mobile phone, along with some of the apps that can make you an instant ‘citizen scientist’.

This is a nature walk for the curious! Find out what’s hidden in plain sight on the Kiewa river trail and what you can do when you’ve found it…
