Nature Surveys

Nature surveys are conducted by Gecko’s Walk with Wildlife (WwW) group, formerly the Tallebudgera Natural History Association .

WwW is essentially a natural history group that keeps records of Birds, Fauna, Insects/ Arachnids and Vegetation seen in areas in which the group takes nature survey walks.

There are also special Elanora Wetlands Survey Walks which take place every fortnight on a Tuesday morning (see Elanora Wetlands Surveys Fact Sheet).  Suggestions for other survey sites are welcome at any time.

Additionally, the WwW group coordinates the award-winning Elanora Wetlands Bushcare Group and other activities such as bushwalking, “walk & gawk”, occasional bus tours, social dinners, and BBQs.
Aim
The aim of the Walk with Wildlife General Surveys are to monitor changes in flora and fauna habitats and populations in various locations in order to try to prevent problems arising and enable planning for future activities.

When Do We Meet?
The General Survey walks usually occur on the third Sunday of the month at 8am (Qld. time). For the most up-to-date information, see the latest Gecko newsletter. After approximately 1-2 hours activity, each session concludes with a BYO morning tea.

Location and Directions
The General Survey walks occur at various locations. For exact locations and directions, see the latest Gecko newsletter.

What To Bring
