Winter Wild Life Survey

Who: For beginners and members of the general public (anyone can do this)

What do I need: All you need is 20 minutes, a pencil and our survey form. We also recommend the Field Guide to Victorian Fauna app if you have difficulty recognizing species.

Purpose: The purpose of this survey is to establish a baseline level for wildlife in the Gardens so we can plan strategies for increasing or improving biodiversity.

Result: The information will be entered into a data base that will allow us to measure changes to wildlife species and numbers in the Gardens over time. (We will also publish the results on-line)

When: Anytime, day or evening. Between 30 June and the 6th of July

How: 

Download (or copy) our survey form from our website, facebook page or email a request. Sit, stand, lie for 20 minutes in one of the zones indicated on the survey map. Record all the birds and animals you see during that time (If you have a phone or camera you might want to take images of birds or animals but this is not essential) Send survey form (and images) to [email protected]
