BioBlitz at Wingello Public School

  • - (AEST)
  • Wingello Public School
    Wingello Public School, Wingello, NSW 2579, Australia

Trees, bugs, birds, bees, and everything in between! We're BioBlitzing to discover and record the biodiversity of our small regional school. We'll be bird watching with binoculars, rummaging through leaf litter for bugs, plant-spotting, and using our keen senses to find tracks, scats, and more.

The objectives of a bioblitz are to record as many species as possible in a certain place within a set timeframe. Our goal is to record at least one hundred different species at our school and our adjoining bushland reserve on the Friday of National Science Week! K-6 students will rotate through three different groups throughout the day - (1) Plants and Fungi; (2) Vertebrates; and (3) Invertebrates. Group leaders will record photographs on the class iPads to then upload to the iNaturalist biodiversity platform.
