As a Survey Leader at Tarkine BioBlitz 2017, you will be leading a group of up to 10 participants to discover and document a particular aspect of the biodiversity of the Tarkine region. You need not be an expert in the region specifically, just have a willingness to share your knowledge and passion for your survey subject area with participants.

This year we have selected 4 sites for conducting field surveys:

i) Dempster Plains is a buttongrass moorland with a patch of wet mixed forest. It was surveyed in 2015 prior to an intense fire and was revisited briefly during the 2016 BioBlitz (after the fire).

ii) Dartys Corner (on the coast) has sandy beach, dune, rocky shelf, coastal dune and creek habitats. This area has been surveyed in 2015 and 2016.

iii) Sundown Point is a new site on the coast, a few kilometres north of Dartys Corner, and has similar habitats.

iv) Keppel Creek forest (Sumac coupe) is a stand of tall wet eucalypt forest surrounded by rainforest, near the Arthur River.

In return for your contribution, we offer to cover your return transport, meals and accommodation costs for the duration of BioBlitz2017.

If you choose to be involved as a Survey leader, please complete the form below and event organisers will contact you to discuss specifics and timetabling of surveys, equipment needs and other details at a later date.

Join us for another great BioBlitz in takayna / Tarkine!

The Bob Brown Foundation would like to invite you to participate in the third Tarkine BioBlitz (23 - 26 November 2017)

Tarkine BioBlitz2017 is the third BioBlitz to be held in takayna/Tarkine and will be held over 72 hours. You are welcome to join us from Thursday 23 to Sunday 26 Nov, or any time in between. On Friday 24 Nov we will be inviting school groups to join the BioBlitz and on Saturday and Sunday BioBlitz will be open to the public to participate.

Our base camp for the duration of the event will be at the Riverbend Youth Centre, approximately 6km south of Smithton, North-west Tas. Accommodation options include motorhome sites, tent camping, dormitories and some more private facilities. Each day we will travel out to explore and discover Tarkine coast, forest and plains locations and regrouping at the base camp each evening to share food, discoveries and stories.

We hope you are as inspired by takayna/Tarkine as we are and look forward to having you involved in Tarkine BioBlitz 2017.

Last year's Field Survey program may give you a sense of what surveys have run previously and what survey you may like to run.
