KUNANYI BIOBLITZ: DAYTIME AND TWILIGHT NATURE DISCOVERY
Sun
9
Sun 9 Aug 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM
THE SPRINGS / KUNANYI - BIOBLITZ
General Admission
Join us on Kunanyi / Mount Wellington for a 3-hour bioblitz and nature experience. This event is designed to connect participants with the natural world and with science, while grounding participants in Aboriginal knowledge and connection to Country.
Led by Theresa Sainty (Pakana woman, researcher, writer, and Senior Indigenous Scholar at UTAS), the afternoon begins with grounding and connecting to Country, followed by a short expert talk, then a guided walk using iNaturalist and bird call apps – identifying and documenting the fascinating species that call Kunanyi home. Hot chocolate and biscuits will be provided during a short break. Then the experience will shift to deep listening and twilight ecology.
Carpooling is recommended, due to limited car parking availability at the Springs.
A reasonable level of fitness is required, as the guided bioblitz will involve walking the tracks of Kunanyi. The tracks may be slippery or have debris on them. Bring warm layers, sturdy walking/hiking shoes, a mobile device and a thermos/keep cup. Starting and finishing at The Hut at The Springs.
This event is organized by the Student Science Communicators Network, a volunteer youth-led community that builds Tasmania's science communicators of the future. Find out more here.
