NatureTracking Across the Furneaux Islands

NatureTrackers’ three projects – CallTrackers, Claws on the Line and Where? Where? Wedgie! – involve annual wildlife surveys across lutruwita / Tasmania, in which anyone can take part.

Each year since 2018, we’ve all been working together to track the conservation status of Tasmanian bats, bitterns, birds of prey, burrowing crayfish – and more!

As part of National Science Week activities, NatureTrackers coordinators Jim and Clare invite you to share and learn about the fascinating science of wildlife monitoring, and explore NatureTrackers’ and other monitoring projects’ questions, methods and findings so far.

Drop into the Whitemark library to have a chat – and check out the acoustic recorder you can borrow to record local bats and bitterns.
