About this Event
Join Wildlife Queensland, Resilient Rivers SEQ and Redland City Council for a community workshop sharing the results of the Spring 2025 regional environmental DNA project and a walk and talk along your local creek.
This is your opportunity to learn what species are calling your local waterways home. Using cutting-edge eDNA technology, we can detect the presence of wildlife simply from water samples. This means we’re uncovering a hidden world of biodiversity — from turtles and fish to macroinvertebrates and even microscopic diatoms.
