Overview

Children around Australia are taking charge. Come and join the revolution! From Dunsborough on the coast of Western Australia to Sydney's suburbs, young people are discovering nature in their neighbourhoods and setting up nesting boxes for birds, cleaning up waterways, planting to attract bees and koalas and building insect hotels. They're learning about the amazing native species around them and finding ways to protect them. The Bee Squad inspires you to take part in these exciting adventures and projects that support threatened species by doing things like: learning how to put together a nature sleuth toolkit planting to attract pollinators using the tally sheet to record flora and fauna sightings following the tips to ace your wildlife photography The best part is, you don't need to live near a national park or protected area to get involved you can make a difference from your balcony, backyard, local park or school. 'A book that will send kids out into the wilderness with fresh perspective and appreciation for this world of ours.' Danielle Binks, author of The Year the Maps Changed 'The Bee Squad is a fantastic introduction for junior scientists. It's inspiring to read about what discoveries have already been made by students and how citizen science has enabled observations in nature to have real world impact.'
