Citizen Science - The Garden Bird Survey - Will your family take part too?

This week we're prepping our bird knowledge, so we can take part in the Landcare Manaaki Whenua Garden Bird Survey.

We'll be collecting data on our local bird life and sending it off to scientists. Did you know the number of birds is an indicator of the health of the environment?

Families can take part in the surveys too. It's fun and easy. Visit https://www.landcareresearch.co.nz/science/plants-animals-fungi/animals/birds/garden-bird-surveys
