Local School Students Win National Award
MIALLO State School students were recognised for their contribution towards biodiversity research after adding 295 new species to a citizen science project.
The Great Aussie BioQuest is a citizen science competition where participants use their mobile phones to upload photos of insects, birds, spiders, reptiles, fungi - basically any wild plant or animal they can find.
The school helped Douglas Shire beat more than 500 council areas across the country in the ‘Great Aussie BioQuest in August this year.
Deputy Mayor Lisa Scomazzon presented students with the Community Engagement Award to the teachers and students of Miallo State School.
