Spotlighting – Wildlife Watch at Barringo Reserve
Discover what comes alive after dark and help monitor local wildlife in the Macedon Ranges’ biolink areas, and during the Autumn Festival.
Join Macedon Ranges Shire Council’s environment team for an evening spotlight walk and biodiversity survey. Spotlighting is a vital monitoring tool that helps track native species and understand the health of our bushland corridors.
While out on our walk, we may spot nesting birds, possums or the elusive Brush-tailed Phascogale, or hear the calls of microbats or owls flying overhead. Although we cannot guarantee these incredible creatures will make an appearance on the night, we can promise an educational experience for the whole family!
Come along, contribute to real conservation work, and experience the magic of the bush at night.
