A BioBlitz is a snapshot study where scientists and the community work together to survey and record as many plant and animal species as possible at a location within a specified timeframe.
BioBlitz are becoming a frequently used large-scale citizen science field event in Australia.
BioBlitz provide a platform for increasing environmental awareness while delivering education and collecting lots of biodiversity data.
The Mandoon Bilya BioBlitz will support our BoorYul-Bah-Bilya program and related initiatives including the proposed Mandoon Bilya Regional Riverpark and community catchment plan, and inform future river restoration efforts.
The Mandoon Bilya BioBlitz will culminate in the Mandoon Bilya Festival, which will include a day of interactive activities for the whole community.
