Beerburrum Bioblitz - Next Steps

Hi Everyone.

Thanks so much for taking part in the Beerburrum State Forest bioblitz on Saturday. It was really great spending time connecting to and appreciating the forest with you! For those who missed out, we missed you and hope you can join the next one and/or help with ID below. The next step is making sure all the observations are uploaded and identified on iNaturalist. I am keen to have that all ready by the end of the week. Can you let me know if you still have some uploading to do. For those with great ID skills please also jump on and help identify / verify those that need it. Also double check that your iNaturalist observations are showing up in the Forest Watch project, I have set it up so it is currently only picking up Saturdays observations. If you noted down observation which you were able to upload into iNaturalist eg Birds without a photo please send these to me ASAP too.

Once this is done I will pull together a bit of a report to send to the minister and share on social media. I will keep you updated on that so you can also share this. Currently we have 130 species and 500 observations, great work!

Could you please fill out this feedback form to help improve future bioblitz events?

Next Steps

  1. As above, upload, ID and check observations.
  2. Check out photos here. Share them with the link to get people to email the premier.
  3. I have also set up this Forest Watch facebook group so people can share key observations in state forests, including any intel on logging.
  4. Let me know if you are interested in helping to organise future BioBlitz events, managing the iNaturalist project or help with other state forest campaign tactics.
  5. You can check out info about the broad state forest context here.

Thanks so much,
Hayley
