Have you ever wondered how you can help protect your local environment? Are you interested in getting involved in citizen science projects, or simply curious about what’s happening in your own backyard? Come along to Planet Matters, Eaton Library’s monthly environmental program, and discover the many ways you can connect with nature and make a positive impact.
Each session explores a different aspect of our local natural world. You might hear from the Friends of Big Swamp about protecting our unique snake-necked turtles, discover the beauty of our marine environment with Dolphin Discovery, or get hands-on building possum dreys with the Leschenault Catchment Council. With a diverse range of topics and guest presenters, every month offers something new to learn and enjoy.
You’ll also discover opportunities to take part in citizen science—simple activities that help scientists and conservation groups collect valuable information about our local environment. From recording wildlife sightings to monitoring changes in habitats, these projects allow everyone to contribute to the protection of our natural spaces.
Held on the second Thursday of each month, Planet Matters is a welcoming, family-friendly program for all ages. Combining expert talks, practical activities, and community connections, it’s a great opportunity to learn more about the world around you while meeting like-minded people.
Come along, connect with nature, and discover how small actions can make a big difference for our planet.
