Citizen Science is a great way to connect with your local environment and learn from others in the community, whilst contributing to important scientific research. It involves the collection of plant and animal to improve knowledge of the natural world, and is used to protect and manage our natural environment and its wildlife.
Get started today by using our Habitat Detective cards when discovering Hobsons Bay’s biodiversity.
