Science for All in Brimbank (2019-2022)

Description: Supporting Brimbank residents to get involved in understanding their local environment, and working to improve it. We want to train more people to be citizen scientists in our local community, to engage with the Brimbank environment within a meaningful and relevant research context, aligning with Brimbank’s Community Vision 2040. We will do this by hosting free for the public webinars about citizen science and the environment.
