During September 2021, the City of Casey is competing with eight of our neighbouring councils in the Biodiversity Blitz 2021 – and we need your help!
Participating is easy, we just need you to head into your Casey-area backyard to snap photos of flora and fauna in the Casey area and upload them to iNaturalist. Your observations will automatically be added to this project. You'll be contributing to science and showing the world the amazing biodiversity Casey has to offer.
To get involved, sign up via iNaturalist during September 2021. To learn more about iNaturalist, see training below.
There are prizes to be won for the participants who log the most observations:
- First Prize: 3-hour Dolphin and Whale Wildlife Cruise for 2 adults valued at $220.00
- 2-hour Philip Island Seal Cruise for 2 adults valued at $176.00
