How often: Fortnightly
This year Melbourne Microbats research teams will be treated to a complete dusk till dawn experience sleeping overnight inside the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne - something usually unavailable for the general public - while also being able to enjoy the Ford Fiesta Moonlight Cinema in the gardens while waiting for the Microbats to come out.
Working directly with researchers Dr Rodney van der Ree and PhD students, you will survey bats using harp traps and record ultrasonic bat calls with hand-held bat detectors and GPS equipment. You and your team will also investigate the diet of urban bats by using light traps to sample nocturnal insect fauna. Your help on this project will help ensure the Microbat's future in an ever changing urban environment.
They have a number of teams running for 2011/2012 with every Saturday team being open to family's (whereby children ages 10-17 may accompany their parents/guardians). Both Fridays and Saturdays are open to adults. All teams meet at 6:30pm then stay overnight in the gardens before leaving after Breakfast at 9am the following day.
Available Dates:
- Fri 3rd February
- Sat 11th February (open to Family's)
- Fri 17th February
- Sat 25th February (open to Family's)
- Sat 3rd March (open to Family's)
