CancelledBiodiversity Month Events

Biodiversity Month is celebrated every September and promotes connecting with nature and caring for biodiversity. Biodiversity is the variety of all life on earth - animals, plants, and other organisms.

Australia is one of only 17 countries that are considered “mega-diverse”, and we host a wide variety of unique biodiversity. Protecting our biodiversity is important to our health, community, and economy.

QPRC and Queanbeyan Landcare are hosting some events to celebrate our local biodiversity. Please see the event details below. We hope to see you there!

Please contact Emery Joseph at emery.joseph@qprc.nsw.gov.au for more details.
