Join in the fun at this free family event, connect with nature and discover some of the life of Morialta Conservation park!
With funding from ‘Amongst It’, a mini BioBlitz is able to be held in 2018—but with a slightly different twist. In addition to the survey activities, for the first time, they will be facilitating a diverse range of nature connection experiences to celebrate the many and varied ways we can connect with the natural world! There will be organised activities and talks, drop by and see what you think or grab your tickets now so you don’t miss out on some of the fun options described below.
What is a Nature connection experience? Well have you ever fancied getting to know a tree better? Heard of the Japanese art of Forest Bathing? Practiced the ancient art of Mandela making? Check out the tickets in the Facebook event page HERE to learn more about each of these events.
Building on the work of the Centenary BioBlitz, there will be surveys of some of the not so well documented creatures in the park. Join in an insect survey looking for butterflies, mayflies and really any other thing which is an insect and flies. Or go out on a discovery trip for evidence of Echidnas. You will also be checking out the water creatures; bugs, frogs and fishes are all expected to be found and recorded at the Resource Centre. There will even be a one off survey searching for frogs in the creek.
Interested in knowing more about recording the wildlife in your backyard? Hosted by the University of South Australia’s Discovery Circle hear about the many ways you can contribute to research and learn about the different recording mechanisms available at this engaging talk.
To find the event, drive down Morialta Falls road and turn into the Resource Centre car park just before the pay station or you can walk in from Stradbroke Road if you catch the H30 bus. Please be mindful that parking may not be possible close to the event due to the popularity of the Morialta Playground so allow plenty of time to park.
There are a number of ways you can participate in this event. You can just go along and check it out, or register to join a scheduled activity.
