Experience the diversity of life that lives beneath the water and help us catch waterbugs!

As part of the Great Southern Bioblitz, we will be sampling the Sanctuary wetlands to record as many species as possible. We need people to come and help collect waterbugs out of the samples.

Please note, adult supervision is required.

This event is part of Banyule's Spring Outdoors program.

FAQs

What do I need to bring?

Please dress appropriately for the weather (eg. appropriate footwear - no thongs or heels). You can bring a mobile phone to create observations of the waterbugs you collect on iNaturalist. These observations will contribute to the Great Southern Bioblitz.

What happens if it rains?

The sorting area will be under cover.
