ClimateWatch Walk at Melbourne Gardens
Do you want to contribute to climate change research?
Do you want to understand how climate change is affecting our plants and wildlife?
Join our ClimateWatch advocates on this free guided walk to monitor biodiversity at Melbourne Gardens.

The data you observe and record will help shape Australia’s scientific response to climate change.
