Citizen Science

Citizen science provides great volunteering opportunities for our community to make meaningful contributions to better our understanding of the environment around us. The information and data collected by the community is often utilised by scientists, conservation groups and government to inform the development of policies and strategies to manage and protect the environment.

There are various types of projects you can join which can range from short term or seasonal observations or sampling through to ongoing monitoring and data collection. With many not requiring any previous experience, there are activities to suit all age-groups and abilities.
