City Nature Challenge
The City Nature Challenge is a world-wide community science event to help people better understand – and therefore, take care of – nature that lives in and around urban areas. This year it runs from 28 April - 1 May.
Greater Melbourne and Greater Geelong are the two cities in Victoria taking part. Geelong's area extends right to the edge of Ballarat, as it includes all of Moorabool Shire. See the map on their project page here:

If you would like to help out Geelong, any observations made in their area over next weekend will be automatically added to their tally.
The Geelong Field Naturalists have produced 6 suggested tours of parts of the Geelong region, which can be found on their website here:

These guides could be handy for anyone planning a nature-based day-trip, not just for the City Nature Challenge.
