Blitzing the Great Southern BioBlitz
There were 19 local citizen scientists who joined the Great Southern BioBlitz over the four day event.
The theme of the Greater Hume BioBlitz was “Love your Creek” and we also asked people to join the longer term ‘Refreshing Rivers Upper Billabong” iNaturalist project so we can share our observations in the catchment and build a great database of the plants, animals and other organisms that live here.
We blitzed the Ten Mile Creek at the Ian Geddes Bush reserve with the local schools – we even found a squirrel glider in one of the nest boxes!
The St Pats kids pulled a carp gudgeon out of the creek on Friday – great to see this small native fish still surviving.
