The Corangamite CMA Citizen Science Program presents

Early Bird Platypus Spotting on the Barwon River

Please join CCMA Citizen Science program on Saturday 9th September for an early bird platy spotting session where we will aim to take a photo and make notes of what we see.

The Australian Conservation Foundation (ACF) is making September a month of action for spotting a platypus and this is where we will record our findings. The ACF website provides information about the survey and their on-line toolkit too. 

Join the early birds for some platypus spotting with Corangamite CMA citizen science program!
