If you choose to use recording sheets, don't forget to enter your observations through the ClimateWatch webpage: climatewatch.org.au/trails/serendip-sanctuary

This is a public ClimateWatch trail that you can do whenever you like.

If your school is interested in visiting the site through Parks Victoria, please notify the park prior to your visit through the Parks Victoria teacher portal:https://parkweb.vic.gov.au/learn/teacher-portal/planning-a-field-trip

We encourage the use of the free ClimateWatch app to submit sightings, however ClimateWatch recording sheets for species groups, such as plants, birds, amphibians and marine species can also be reached at: climatewatch.org.au/for-educators

Photos assist us in validating data for use in scientific research. If uploading sightings via the website, please ensure it is your own photo of that sighting, not a friend's or one from the Internet. More tips: climatewatch.org.au/news/how-to-be-a-good-climatewatcher
