Greetings!
Water bug monitoring morning: postponed to Sunday 29th March
Icon for Regional Events          

 

 

 

 

This planned hands-on morning was a wash-out last Sunday! It will be held instead this coming Sunday:

 

When: Sunday 29th March - join in one of two sessions, at 10am or 11am

 

Where: Rosser Park

 

Join local expert and Landcare member Lynn Churchill to learn more about our mountain's water quality by observing and identifying the water bugs that live in our creeks.   

 

Bring: covered shoes, hat, sunscreen, insect repellent and water bottle. 

 

This is a great opportunity to learn about our all-important surface water quality while checking out the creeks' inhabitants most of us never see.
