Victoria’s Zoos, Museums and Botanic Gardens are more than interesting places for people to visit - they are also engines of cutting-edge research and field work. Join us at the Parliament of Victoria to hear from our state’s botanists, zoologists and collection managers caring for the rare in the face of mounting challenges.

Explore 420 million years of Melbourne’s geological and hydrological history with Geography Victoria and the Royal Society of Victoria.

Come and learn how to get involved in restoring native habitat and recovering our local species while learning valuable citizen science skills at Organ Pipes National Park!

**Please be advised this event has been cancelled to minimise transmission of COVID-19 and undue pressure on the Victorian health system.** Come and learn how to get involved in restoring native habitat and species at Organ Pipes National Park.

Join us for the latest ‘Campfires and Science’ event at Yellingbo, where we’ll be teaching people how to look for critically endangered animals and leading trips to plant trees and remove invasive species.

We’ll be joined by Taungurung man, Shane Monk, who will give a Welcome to Country and a ‘walk and talk’ education session in the forest. We’ll also be learning how to gather DNA samples in the wild and analyse them in the forest with a portable ‘lab’.
