Join Conservation Volunteers Australia to monitor the health of the waterways around Townsville through our long-running Creekwatch program. The Creekwatch program assesses water quality across a number of local creeks using comprehensive assessment techniques that include the following:

Physical/chemical analysis, macro invertebrate surveys, fish surveys, bird surveys photo monitoring, weed identification and control.

You will get to visit various creeks and waterways to collect data, sample macro invertebrates (waterbugs) and survey fish. This is a great opportunity to learn environmental skills and meet new people. No experience is necessary as training is provided on the job.

Creekwatch runs every Tuesday and Wednesday from 7.30am to 1pm. Come along once or more regularly.
