What started out as a beautiful day for undertaking tree guard collection and citizen science activities with Grace Christian College Wodonga turned into a fairly intense morning which also included lots of rubbish collection which appeared to be builders waste from the adjoining development.
Another trip is required to finish cleaning up the guards and the rest of the rubbish but a massive thank you goes out to the 5 keen students and teacher who assisted WULN and Wodonga Council in volunteering in the Wodonga Retained Environment Network reserve on Kinchington Rd.
In more exciting news, the students were also successful as citizen scientists, using iNaturalist to record their findings during the session in the Reserve.
A very patient echidna waited to have its glamour shot taken and be recorded, as did more than 29 other species which included spiders, crickets, grasshoppers, ladybirds and leafhoppers. It was fun to pay close attention to nature all around us, and to be excited by our many finds.
