Big Butterfly Count @ George Watson Park, Moffat Beach
The Sunshine Coast community is invited to take part in a butterfly survey at George Watson Park, contributing to a greater understanding of the species that inhabit this important botanical and eucalypt reserve.
No prior experience is needed, as participants will join local BushCare groups to observe and identify butterflies while learning about their vital role in the environment. As part of Australian Pollinator Week, this survey highlights the significance of butterflies as pollinators and indicators of environmental health. Their presence supports biodiversity, providing food for birds and other wildlife while relying on native host plants to thrive.
The survey will take place along the park’s track network. Participants are encouraged to wear sun-smart clothing and closed-toe shoes.
The meeting point is indicated on the provided map, with off-street parking available at Bennett Street.
