Join us to learn how to collect & identify waterbugs and use the Waterbug App.
We’ll collect waterbugs from different waterways in Wodonga and learn how to identify which ones they are and what they can tell us about water quality and waterway health. The training is suitable if you’re just keen to learn a bit about waterbugs or perhaps you would like to be able to do your own Waterbug Blitz at your local creek or river.
FREE but places are limited. All welcome, family friendly.
For safety and communication purposes, please book your place.
On the day, please bring:
– A folding chair
– Food & water/drinks for the day for yourself
– Hat, sunscreen, insect repellent – you will be working outdoors
– Gumboots
– Your smart phone with The Waterbug App downloaded & signed in – free on Google Play or iTunes App Store
(this is optional and we’ll also have resources for those not inclined to use an app)
