Merry Christmas from Bush Blitz

2021 has been a busy year for the Bush Blitz team. Despite unpredictable lockdowns and regular changes to border restrictions, we worked with teams of experts on species discovery expeditions in remote and/or inaccessible parts of Tasmania, the Northern Territory, the Indian Ocean Territories and South Australia. Check out our social media channels to find out what they found or visit the the Bush Blitz website to read more about the wonderful creatures discovered in this cave last month.

While expeditions with some of Australia's leading taxonomists kept us pretty busy, we continued to encourage citizen science by running live outreach events on each expedition, as well as projects like Flight 2 Light and the Bush Blitz badge.

Thank you to everyone who continued to add observations to the Backyard Species Discovery project this year. We wish you all a safe and very happy Christmas and New Year. We look forward to seeing what you find over the Christmas and New Year break, and will respond to your messages as soon as we're back on deck in 2022.
