Students, families and community members are invited to take part in Macro Muster 9 – Australia’s biggest citizen science waterbug count monitoring the health of our rivers. This unique, hands-on event gives participants the chance to become “river detectives” by identifying waterbugs (macroinvertebrates) that live in local waterways. The types and numbers of these tiny creatures tell us a lot about water quality and river health, making your involvement an important contribution to protecting our environment.

Friday 24 October, 4:00–7:30pm
Bellingen Showground, Luncheon Pavilion

No science experience is needed – training and support are provided on the day. The event also includes a family-friendly community dinner, making it a great evening of learning, fun, and connection.
