  2. Contact us below, suggesting how you may help.
    We need people to help with:

  3. leading bioblitzes (events at which laypeople and experts meet to discover the fauna and or flora and or fungi of a place and record it) during the event
  4. organizing hikes and expeditions
  5. linking up other activities with the challenge: for instance, walking groups, running groups, hiking groups, safety patrols, fairs, beach cleanups, hacks, etc. to combine to regular activities with observing for the challenge.
  6. helping reserve managers and friends groups to prepare, organize, run and make fun events in our reserves during the four days. This can be bringing in schools, recruiting new members, general lay events, bioblitzes and other events.
  7. arranging sponsorship for disadvantaged schools and groups to visit our nature reserves in conjunction with CTEET.
  8. monitoring plants in our city streets and parks to record what is where and the status (including absence!) of various plagues such as Polyphagous Shothole Borer Beetle, and Gum Clamshell Lerp.
  9. anything else you can think of.

We will put you in touch with the relevant person to realize your dream ...
