Citizen Science activity: Monitor nest boxes at Doonan Creek Environment Reserve and help record observations of wildlife use, nest box conditions, and environmental information!

The site has many nest boxes and will require off-trail walking, including through thick bush. You will need to wear appropriate protective personal equipment, including a long sleeve shirt, long pants, and enclosed outdoor shoes. You will also need to bring your water bottle and any essential items with you that may personally require (e.g., glasses). Sunscreen and insect repellent will be available on-site. 

There are 3 activities at this site: 

• North side of the reserve part 1: Tuesday 6th of May
• North side of the reserve part 2: Saturday 3rd of May
• West side of the reserve: Thursday 8th of May

Information on the meeting location for this site will be sent to you the day prior or the day of the survey. 

There are several roles that volunteers will share during an activity, including:

• Handling of the camera and pole,
• Handling of the LCD-12 monitor screen,
• Handling of the tape measurer, and
• Recording information on data sheets or through Survey123.

If you are a new volunteer who has not completed the Safety Induction eLearning module and Corporate Induction Checklist, please arrive 10 minutes earlier than the scheduled start of the activity.
