Organisers of the annual BioBlitz are keen to see members of the Border community take part in scientific surveys of native wildlife found in national parks, reserves and private properties around Woomargama and Mullengandra, north of Albury. Ecologists from Charles Sturt University’s (CSU) School of Environmental Sciences will lead groups between Friday 6 and Sunday 8 September to survey native mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and fish, including endangered animals such as the Squirrel Glider Possum and the Spotted Quoll. Event coordinator Mr Sam Niedra from the Slope to Summit Partnership  (which includes CSU), said the weekend activities will include wildlife walks, talks, demonstrations and children’s activities, as well as a celebration of National Threatened Species Day on Saturday 7 September. “We are also holding a nature photography workshop on Saturday 7 September, run by experienced photographer Esther Beaton,” Mr Niedra said. The first day on Friday 6 September has been set aside for school groups, with the general community encouraged to enjoy free camping and facilities available around the Woomargama Community Hall and in the Woomargama National Park.
