Join us as part of the Nature Festival for our 10th annual Marne and Saunders Waterbug Bioblitz!

If you're interested in waterbugs, citizen science, or just curious about the health of local waterways join us for our 10th Marne and Saunders Waterbug Bioblitz.

Spend a full day or part day with water scientists collecting waterbugs and measuring water quality at sites along the Marne River and Saunders Creek in the Barossa. You will contribute to our understanding what is happening in our local waterways.

Supervised children 8 and up are welcome to take part.

A moderate level of fitness required for the site visits that involve clambering along creek lines.
