We hope you’ll decide to join us on the first (virtual) citizen science Bush Blitz expedition!

Check out Bush Blitz for more information about the Bush Blitz program, previous expeditions and this new project. We’ll be adding videos and fact sheets to our website over the coming weeks to help you take part in Backyard Species Discovery, including tips on how to observe and collect organisms, how to attract wildlife to your garden and much more.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us!

The Minister for the Environment has officially launched our virtual citizen science Bush Blitz and we hope that many more people will join us in discovering what’s in Australia’s backyards.

Visit Bush Blitz for more information on how you can take part and useful resources. In particular, we encourage everyone to read the fact sheet 'Make your observations count' – the better your observations are, the more likely our experts can identify what you’ve found.

We can’t wait to see what you discover!
