April Meetup - Len Howard Conservation Park

It was a fresh and incredibly beautiful morning at the water's edge. Only a hint of wind caused ripples and the birdlife was plentiful, making it hard to stay focused for our species account. We focused on the plants and birds and came up with pages of notes and sketches from mindfully observing and being aware of our subject. Thanks to those who came and enjoyed this picturesque spot.

The Len Howard Conservation Park is a fantastic bird-watching location just 5 km south of Mandurah. There is a 1 km nature trail loop that starts from the carpark with bird hides and seats along the trail. Toilets and picnic area facilities are also available. Bring binoculars if you have some!

Focus on learning as much as possible about one type of organism through its behaviour, habitat and structural information. In this guided nature journaling activity you will learn to use words, pictures and numbers to describe an observed species in more detail.

All skill levels are welcome. Children must be supervised at all times. Please register if you plan to attend.
