NatureWatch
NatureWatch gets people like you involved in monitoring the health of the natural environment by bringing together community volunteers, land managers, scientists and other experts to develop projects that contribute to nature conservation in a meaningful way. Why monitor? Monitoring the natural environment is crucial to understanding how we should best manage Victoria's natural areas for conservation. Information collected by NatureWatch volunteers is given to park and land managers, scientists and the broader community to help improve our understanding of conservation issues and develop better strategies for managing natural areas. |
