Environment Events in Woodend

Discover what comes alive after dark and help monitor local wildlife in Macedon Ranges’ biolink areas. Join the environment team for a spotlight walk and hands-on biodiversity survey. This is a citizen science event, with data collected contributing to Council’s biodiversity data and Hanging Rock Reserve Monitoring Plan. Spotlighting is a vital tool for tracking native species and understanding the health of our bushland corridors. While out on our walk we may spot nesting birds, possums or the elusive Brush-tailed Phascogale, or hear the calls of microbats or owls flying overhead. Come along, contribute to real conservation work, and experience the magic of the bush at night.

Discover the nocturnal wildlife living along Five Mile Creek, Woodend. Learn how scientists monitor wildlife after dark and meet some neighbours you never knew.
