Spotlight on Wombat Forest

Wildlife camera monitoring field day

Join us in Wombat Forest after dark! After 10 years of surveying wildlife across the forest we took a break after the massive storms in 2021. Now we’re heading back with a new project aimed at surveying for threatened animals across the storm impact areas, including nocturnal possums and gliders.

we’ll collect, reset and reinstall wildlife cameras. Then we’ll enjoy a BYO picnic dinner in the forest followed by a 1-2km spotlighting survey after sunset. We’ll walk slowly on gravel roads while using strong torches to search for wildlife. We might see Greater Gliders and hear owls calling.

No experience is necessary, all training is provided. This activity is not suitable for children.

Detailed activity information will be provided after registration.

This event is being run by the NatureWatch Program.
