You may not have noticed before\, but our rivers and creeks are home to hundreds of different species of waterbugs! \nUsing your detective skills\, you will be encouraged to discover and identify the amazing creatures lurking under the surface. You will learn how to forage for waterbugs and to check out what else is hidden in our waterways. \nWaterbugs are not only an important food source for many creatures\, but they play a vital role in the health of our waterways. Some are very sensitive to pollution\, so through monitoring their numbers and diversity we can keep track of how healthy our waterways are. \nThe data collected is nationally recognised and shared with our local councils to provide up to date information about the health of our waterways. \nImportant information: \n\nSign up today\, spaces are limited! \nThis event is suitable for children 6 and over – parental/guardian supervision required.\nPlease make sure you are aware of the current COVID-19 restrictions and do not attend if you are displaying COVID-19 or cold/flu symptoms\, no matter how mild.\nIf you can no longer attend\, please cancel your booking via Eventbrite to free up your place to those who are on the waiting list.

This event is for everyone\, no matter what your level of expertise is. \nThe purpose of this event is to highlight both the immense biodiversity spread across the Scenic Rim\, as well as to engage the public in science and nature learning using the citizen science platform iNaturalist. You can add all your data into the Scenic Rim project to share what you have found as well as see what other participants found in their area! \nThis will be a fun and educational activity where you will be able to enhance your knowledge and connect with fellow nature lovers and experts in the field. \nThe surveys are quite intensive\, therefore\, please make sure that you book surveys appropriately so that others can join the BioBlitz too.
