Cardinia Shire Bioblitz 2023

We're celebrating Biodiversity Month by partnering with several of our neighbouring councils to hold the Biodiversity Blitz 2023. Join us for guided walks to explore some of the shire's special reserves and help catalogue local biodiversity.

On this walk we will listen out for treecreepers and eastern yellow robins. We will see possum dreys and native orchids and smell some of the flowering Acacias. All the while, we'll record what we see to help us understand the health of our environment. T﻿his walk is part of our 2023 Biodiversity Blitz. Throughout September Cardinia Shire Council is celebrating Biodiversity Month by partnering with several of our neighbouring councils to run a friendly competition on who can record the most species.Participating is easy! Head outdoors during September to snap photos of flora and fauna in the Cardinia Shire area and upload them to iNaturalist.
