BECOME CITIZEN SCIENTISTS THESE SCHOOL HOLIDAYS AND BUGOUT BESIDE THE GELLIBRAND!

March 31, 2023

Looking for activities to keep the kids busy these school holidays? Come and bugout beside the Gellibrand!

The Corangamite Catchment Management Authority (CMA) is running a series of workshops where kids can not only learn about the Gellibrand River, but also about the water bugs that call the river home.

Your little one can be a Citizen Scientist for the morning, helping to catch, monitor and identify the creepy crawlies they find and have a lot of fun while doing it!

Wednesday 12th April
10 – 11.30am
River reserve beside Gellibrand River
200m from Old Main Road, Gellibrand
Google maps 38°30'59.2"S 143°32'18.7"E - Google Maps

The Gellibrand River is the backbone of the Otways, supporting life, primary industry, and recreation activities. Waterbugs provide a great indication of overall waterway health.

Rain, hail or shine the event will take place, so make sure to wear weather appropriate footwear and bring your gumboots if you have them.

This event is free, but spaces are limited. Visit https://ccma.vic.gov.au/event/gellibrand-waterbug-discovery/ to register today!
