BioBlitz hailed a success

A UNIQUE event that involved a number of community organisations, government agencies, school children and the community at Malanda recently has been hailed a success.

School children took part in a number of interesting activities during the recent BioBlitz event at Malanda.

BioBlitz is a citizen science activity comprising a snapshot study of a specific area where survey teams undertake a field study to identify and record as many living species as possible to improve the understanding of the local biodiversity – in this case, it was a stretch of the North Johnstone River at Dungavel Park.

The event also featured workshops, presentations, nature art activities and an expo with information stalls from various government agencies and community organisations.
