Citizen Science

The Bushland Shire has a strong history of community activism, especially around bushland protection, conservation of endangered species and water quality.

Citizen Science is a great way to harness community skills and passion to fuel the capacity of science to answer our questions about the world and how it works. It also helps raise awareness and community understanding of the value of biodiversity and healthy waterways within our local catchments.
