FrogID week citizen science event

About

As part of the Yaram Yaram Bayikina (Bendigo Creek Reawakening) project, the North Central CMA, Djaara and the City of Greater Bendigo are keen to better understand frog populations across the Bendigo Creek catchment.

Come along to this informal outdoor gathering to:

· Learn about the cultural importance of gatjin (water).

· Experience and understand this gorgeous site that shares Djaara knowledge and has been rewilded to become a thriving biodiversity hotspot.

· Get to know the frogs of the Bendigo region with a talk by Lu-Wei Spinks from the City of Greater Bendigo’s biodiversity team.

· Learn how to use the FREE FrogID app and practise using it on site.

· Hear about the Yaram Yaram Bayikina project and how you can get involved

· Participate in a frog chorus – think pub choir but with frog calls!
