Did you know that there are populations of freshwater turtles in many of our Urban Lakes systems! You can help protect them by logging sightings on TurtleSAT on your mobile phone when you are simply our walking around your local lake!

Love our Lakes event second workshop presenter is Doctor Claire Baudain, and Environmental Educator affiliated with Murdoch University and Citizen Science project 1 Million Turtles and she will empower you to start logging valuable data onto TurtleSAT and you can also register your expression of interest for even more Citizen Science Training | 1 Million Turtles in future.

After the intro to Community Turtle Monitoring, we will take a stroll around the Lake at Bruce Cresswell Reserve and try our luck. This will be a fun activity for the whole family, and if the kids are not into turtles, there will be some Backyard Bandicoot activities available as well as additional local info stalls (including our very own Fight the Bite Mosquito Control Program) and kids activities (including but not limited to Coastal Waste Warriors and Grow it Local Seedling pots). So this event will be fun and informative for the whole family to interact with before, after and during the workshops!

Plus, all attendees can take home a free seedling for their own backyard ponds, grown by our very own City of Mandurah Nursery!

This workshop is part of a series, check out the first one.
