There are two opportunities in coming days to be a citizen scientist, recordimg biodiversity and/or measuring plant growth in your Adelaide Park Lands.
The annual “Great Southern Bioblitz” is being run from October 24th tto 27th. It’s an opportunity for all Southern Hemisphere countries to record organisms during Spring and showcase our beautiful biodiversity to the world. The event is run by a grassroots network of keen citizen scientists from across the globe.
All observations of biodiversity in your Park Lands assist the Adelaide Park Lands Association, and others, to advocate for protection. All that you need, to participate, is the iNaturalist app on your smartphone.
Separately, the ‘Green Pakapakanthi’ group is holding a different citizen science opportunity on the morning of Sunday 2 November.
Volunteers are needed to help to compare plant growth and other biodiversity markers around newly-planted forests near the wetlands in Victoria Park /Pakapakanthi (Park 16). Registration is essential.
