Citizen science is the collection and analysis of data relating to the natural world by members of the general public, typically as part of a collaborative project with professional scientists.
We educate and engage our community to be a part of meaningful conservation. Through these programs, we increase our knowledge of Platypus, protect threatened Sea Turtles, safeguard our waterways and remove invasive species.
