Youth event - Flora, Frog and Bird surveys with Friends of HeHo

This event is designed for 18 to 31+ year olds. It is part social, part science, part environmental volunteering. 

Join Amy (Friends of the Helmeted Honeyeater Youth Reference Group Convenor), and Sue & Rachel (FoHH citizen science program), who will share the species data collection procedures we use for plants, frogs and birds. No prior experience needed.

We’ll make our way to a location in Yellingbo Nature Conservation Area that people are rarely invited to. Our session will focus on collecting baseline data at a site where Monash University will be undertaking future reptile surveys and FoHH are planning habitat restoration. What species are currently present in this site? We’ll use iNaturalist to contribute to the 2023 Melbourne Biodiversity Blitz that's happening in September, whilst gaining some transferable industry knowledge and skills, as we learn from each other and enjoy being out in the bush together.

Our activities operate within a gated and locked Conservation Area and we move away from the entry point for our event. We will be using a 4WD to carpool close to the survey site. You'll need to be able to commit to the arrival/start times listed. Registrations close 24 hours before the event.
