Sydney BioBlitz08 – Sunday 28 September

Want to be part of an outdoor search party exploring plant and animal wildlife with your very own expert? Imagine peering into bat traps, hunting for reptiles under rocks and logs or searching by torchlight for possums and gliders high in the treetops. On Sunday 28 September 2008 National Parks Association of NSW (NPA) and its NatureKeepers Program in co-operation with the City of Sydney and event partners Centennial Parklands, Moore Park Trust and Sydney Olympic Park, bring you an event that lets you do just that, with NatureKeepers BioBlitz08!

Join BioBlitz08 and you will team up with science experts from the fields of Botany, Mammals, Spiders and Insects, Birds, Reptiles and Frogs to participate in a fun, friendly hands-on biodiversity survey of plant and animal wildlife. Learn, explore, discover and record as many plants and animals as possible over a 24 hour period, and help provide a ‘snapshot’ account of the wildlife living in your urban backyard.
