Great Southern Bioblitz: We are going on a Bug Hunt

This is excitement and fun for the entire family: kids, parents, grandparents. We’ll discover the little critters that call Moore Park home by setting up honey traps, by beating around the bush (literally), by checking leaves, bark,  and leaf litter for spiders, caterpillars, stick insects, bugs and beetles. Davina from BugsEd will provide the professional support, made possible thanks to the Lord Mayor's Community Fund and Cr Penny Wolff, Walter Taylor Ward. We are very grateful. This is a FREE activity for especially young nature lovers. If mum and/or dad bring their smartphone along and download the free inaturalist app onto it, they can photograph the critter discoveries and upload them to inaturalist. Important records will that way be added to an ever growing database.

Please be sun smart, wear protective clothing, closed-in shoes. We'll have refreshments and some morning tea for all budding and existing citizen scients.

In addtion to the Environment Fund grant, this event - like all others - this morning is supported by the two local bushcare groups and the Cubberla-Witton Catchments Network.
