Whether you’re a curious traveller camping by the river, a local out for a stroll, or a school group eager to learn, there’s never been a better time to get involved in citizen science. The Beverley River Care Group invites you to explore our rich natural environment and help us track the amazing animals, birds, and plants that call it home. With just your smartphone and a keen eye, you can contribute to real scientific data – while enjoying everything from rare orchids to stunning Aurora Australis displays over the Yenyening Lakes.
iNaturalist. Beverley River Care Group has a project in iNaturalist where visitors, locals and schools can report their finds. Click on the link to go to the project in iNaturalist.
ebird.org is another popular site for recording sightings.
- Apex Park in Beverley is a popular free camp for travellers, situated on the river at the town bridge.
- Yenyening Lakes Nature Reserve is a popular place for visitors and locals. Some take advantage of the dark night sky, reflections on the water and stark outlines of the dead trees to take awesome night photographs and spectacular Aurora Australis images. Some enjoy the bird and plant life in the Nature reserve and the ebird site Yenyening Lakes Nature Reserve at Qualandary Rd gives you an opportunity to record what you have seen.
- Brooking Street Nature Reserve is just off the river and a much loved reserve tended with care. Orchids are here in season. Record your bird sightings at the nature reserve on ebird.org
