Bushcare and Bug Survey! - Magazine Creek Wetlands (Thurs 19th Nov)

Join CVA, the Port Environment Centre and Invertebrates Australia for a morning of action and discovery at Magazine Creek Wetlands! We'll kick off the day giving back to this important wetland habitat by removing weeds and litter. After this, learn about the iNaturalist app and how you can use it everywhere you go to get involved in citizen science! We'll then put these new skills to use as we join Josh and Malcolm from Invertebrates Australia to look for insects and identify them using the app. Our findings will be uploaded as part of 'Bugs in My Backyard Week', where nature lovers across Australia head outside and uncover the wild, wonderful creatures that keep our world humming!

Enjoy morning tea with fellow nature lovers after your hard work.

What will I be doing on the day? All of our events begin with a safety induction and training from a CVA Team Leader.

As part of the day, you will work under the supervision of our friendly team to help with weeding and removing litter.

What skills or experience do I need? No prior experience is necessary! Our Team Leaders will provide volunteers with safety inductions and training in the activity.

All are welcome - our events are suitable for most age groups (ages 10 - 85). Children aged 3-14 must be directly supervised by a parent or legal guardian.

A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER:

• Once you send through your application via Seek, we will be in touch with registration details.
• No previous experience is required.
• You need to make your own way to and from the project site.
• We can provide you with a certificate of appreciation for coming along and helping out (this looks great on a resume!)
