Event description

This camera trap workshop explains the uses of camera traps, the different types available and how to operate them, such as changing the settings. The event will be packed with tips and tricks for getting the best out of your camera trap, including choosing a location and luring wildlife in. If you don't have your own camera, that's okay! We will have camera traps available for you to borrow to survey the wildlife on your farm. Then, learn how to upload your photos to NatureMapr or a similar biodiversity database. 

This event is being run by K2W Link as part of Cores, Corridors and Koalas - a partnership between the Great Eastern Ranges and WWF-Australia to restore and reconnect habitat for forest-dependent native animals.
