When: 7:30pm - 10pm, Friday 24th October

We'll notice how creatures and habitat reveal Wurundjeri Country's seven seasons through animal behaviour and plant display and use iNaturalist to add observation data as part of the Great Southern Bioblitz campaign in Greater Melbourne.

Join Hume Council's Urban Biodiversity Officer, Melissa Dougherty and MCMC's Dr Angela Foley to visit one of Hume's most significant natural areas at Woodlands Sanctuary, Providence Road, Greenvale.

The Eastern Barred Bandicoot is a small, yellowish-brown nocturnal marsupial currently endangered through loss of habitat and predation by cats and foxes. Our walk and talk means walking and stopping frequently, and keeping a respectful distance from these nocturnal creatures.

Registration essential HERE. 

Location: Woodlands Historic Park - Providence Rd Carpark, Providence Road, Greenvale. There is no public transport in the nearby area.

BYO binoculars or torches if you have them. Beginners welcome.This event is suitable for everyone (those under 18 years must attend with a parent or guardian). Please wear sturdy shoes, long pants, dress for the weather and don’t attend if you are feeling unwell.
