An exciting BioBlitz aimed at tracking down and identifying as many critters, plants and other living natural resources is being planned for Northern Cooloola this coming Spring. It will be based in Rainbow Beach where there are many accommodation options to choose from. However information sessions and evening meals will be at the Rainbow Beach Community Hall.
This 48 hour BioBlitz is open for teenagers to retirees. No natural history expertise is required because there will be very experienced mentors and leaders accompanying all the teams on their field excursions to help find, identify and document as many species as possible and provide information.
Organizers have identified specific habitats for close scrutiny by the various teams that range from the seashore to the high dunes, from the rainforest to the wallum heathlands and from the fens to the mangroves.
It is a wonderful time of the year to be out exploring nature so follow the websites that will provide progressive updates on this exciting event
