About the event
Join us on the weekend of World Rivers Day for a platypus spotting session!
We are celebrating World Rivers Day by surveying platypus populations in our patch as a part of the Australian Conservation Foundation’s Platy-Project.
The purpose of the Platy-Project is to map platypus sightings while having a great time in nature. We will make an important, citizen science contribution to platypus protection whether we’re lucky enough to spot one or not.
One of the best times to see platypus is at dawn. We hope to catch a glimpse of one returning to its burrow after a night's feeding.
Any platypus sightings will be recorded and data uploaded to the Australian Conservation Foundation. Data from other wildlife sightings can be uploaded to iNaturalist.
What’s better than seeing a platypus in the wild? Sharing the experience with like-minded company!
