What is citizen science?

It’s when everyday people contribute to scientific research, like recording wildlife sightings or helping monitor local plant and native animal species.

Your backyard is wilder than you think.

Whether you live in a leafy suburb or a bustling city street, your outdoor space holds the power to support wildlife as well as your own wellbeing. Mature trees, native shrubs, messy logs, and water dishes might not always be judged flashy or valuable, but to Australia’s urban birds, bees, possums, and frogs — they’re priceless.
