ClimateWatch * was developed by Earthwatch Australia together with the Bureau of Meteorology and the University of Melbourne, to understand how changes in temperature and rainfall are affecting the seasonal behaviour of Australia's plants and animals. The first continental phenology project in the Southern Hemisphere, ClimateWatch enables every Australian to be involved in collecting and recording data that will help shape the country’s scientific response to climate change.

Remember to download the FREE App before your chosen walk - Image: www.climatewatch.org.au
