Get involved and join over 400 people who have already signed up to the project. This is a special opportunity to meet like-minded people and help protect this elusive but threatened species.If you would like to become a volunteer citizen scientist, come along to the FREE BirdLife Southern Queensland Owl Workshop & Training session.Hosted by owl experts, the workshop will be presented in two parts. The first hour will focus on Brisbane's Owls, their identification, biology and ecology. Following a short break, the second hour will allow you to formally sign up to the project as a volunteer citizen scientist, get permits, and be taught the tricks to help BirdLife Australia monitor Powerful Owls in 2020.[BREAK]If you have an interest in birdwatching and would like to join The Owl Project, come along and take part in this enlightening workshop.It is FREE to participate.
