BioBlitz leads to new web resource

The buzz is the 2012 Korrelocking BioBlitz was a great success!

Korrelocking BioBlitz Volunteers

Thanks to all the keen people who came along to join in this year, the Team Leaders who bravely led their groups into the wilds of Korrelocking and of course Phil and Sharon who put up with all the unusual comotion on their property!

For details on the current findings from the BioBlitz see the following media release or listen to the ABC radio interview here.

After a great weekend of adventure, social media updates, discovery and hopefully fun for all, the hard graft of getting together the BioBlitz report has begun.

The species lists are growing and the need for management of several issues within the reserve is growing apparent.

Wheatbelt NRM has already recieved three requests for assistance from groups wishing to organise their own BioBlitz in 2013!

In response to these requests we created a new web-resource and tool kit, to assist any keen BioBlitz organisers out there.


There are some great tips for BioBlitz organisers on the new page, including some key questions, tips for finding leaders, tools to help find outmore about your area and some useful links to other resources.

Looking foward to the next BioBlitz
