Springtime pollinator observatories

CAUL Hub researcher Dr Luis Mata will be facilitating a number of pollinator observatories and related workshops in the greater Melbourne area.

Pollinators are essential for the reproduction of many plants, and pollinator observatories provide reliable opportunities to observe and research pollinator species and their interactions with plants. In addition, these events are opportunities for citizen scientists to get involved in learning more about this aspect of biodiversity.

Pollinator observatory events will be held on Sunday 27 October at Westgate Park and on Sunday 10 November at Blackburn Lake Sanctuary. In addition, the Royal Botanical Gardens Victoria will be hosting an Insectopia workshop on Sunday 3 November. Please book directly through the links provided.
