Take a walk through the iconic Melbourne General Cemetery for a morning insect BioBlitz.
As part of a guided walk, you’ll get to explore the cemetery’s new native grasslands as part of 'Project Cultivate’. Hear all about what’s been planted by Helen Tuton, Southern Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust Horticulture Assets Manager, and record insects you spot along the walk using iNaturalist. Learn about common insects you might find and how to identify them with insect expert, Peter Rowland from Wildlife & Ecology.
This free event is part of City of Melbourne’s Insect BioBlitz, running from Sunday 1 March to Saturday 7 March. Join for a week dedicated to discovering, documenting and learning about the local critters who call Melbourne home.
