Help track and guide Tasmanian threatened species conservation!
Discover NatureTrackers’ three fascinating wildlife monitoring projects, meet the people involved,
and find out how you can participate!
For the first time, the results of eight years (2019-26) of NatureTrackers’ annual surveys will be announced – for the Tasmanian wedge-tailed eagle and three other species. And there will be updates on the mapping of burrowing crayfish burrows, and most recently the tracking of noisy but elusive species using sound recorders.
Hear from species experts, learn from other NatureTrackers, and get an idea of what’s involved in threatened species monitoring – and why volunteering your time to do this is both a lot of fun and really important.
Anyone can be a part of NatureTrackers – so book today to join in on the NatureTrackers Together event. Whether you’ve only just heard of us, or you’ve been involved before, you’ll find wonderful inspiration here.

NatureTrackers comprises the Bookend Trust’s overall program of ‘citizen science’ projects, run entirely by volunteers – coordinating schools and the community to track the status of our threatened species and better understand their needs. We define a citizen scientist as a potential, amateur, or professional scientist, often learning from and collaborating with others, volunteering their time to conduct scientific work.
This event is funded by Inspiring Tasmania.
