Join us for a special evening event at Yanchep National Park as part of the Great Southern BioBlitz 2025!
As the sun sets, we’ll head into the bush to discover the hidden world of nocturnal wildlife. You’ll be assisting with the Great Southern BioBlitz by using iNaturalist to record the animals and plants you see – helping to build a snapshot of local biodiversity.
🌿 What’s happening on the night?
- Use bat detectors to listen in on echolocating insectivorous bats
- Observe a variety of insects at the moth trap
- Take part in an iNaturalist bioblitz, recording your sightings
- Spot other nocturnal wildlife around the bushland
- Learn how citizen science helps conserve urban biodiversity
🦉 A great opportunity for nature-lovers and curious minds to experience the bush at night and contribute to an international biodiversity project!
