We are calling for participants to be part of the national citizen science project looking at antibiotic resistance in wildlife Saturday 13th April.
Urban Wildlife: possums, citizen science and
antibiotic resistance
Learn about the ecology of urban possums and how you can be part of a national study of brushtail possums. Participants will receive a collection kit so they can participate in the study.
The
workshop is presented by biologists from Macquarie University the University of
Sydney. Associate Professor Michelle Power and Koa Webster study antibiotic
resistance in Australian wildlife and coordinate a national citizen science
project called Scoop a Poop, and Associate Professor Clare McArthur is an
expert on urban possums. Together they will present an evening of fascinating
possum (and poop!) facts, and explain how you can get involved in the Scoop a
Poop project.
Workshop
activities include learning how to identify poop from different wildlife
species, introduction to the Scoop a Poop app, and practicing using the Scoop a
Poop collection kit.

Last weekend we had the Mt Wilson Fauna Survey Workshop and Spotlight. We were incredibly lucky to see three greater gliders, a threatened species and the Anabat detector also recorded a threatened species, the Eastern Bentwing Bat!
Despite the cold, we had a great turnout of people and animals…..
We have one more weekend this year of wildlife walks and talks coming up on the 27/28 October in the upper mountains, please let your family and friends know.
