World Echidna Day

Project ECHIDNA Workshop

Needles in a Haystack

A day to learn about echidnas and the places they call home. We are bringing together the story, community interest and conservation work under one invitation: Learn something.

Contribute something.

Protect something.

Nature Drones is planning a workshop to bring together people interested in echidnas, habitat, community observations and practical ways to investigate them. Field knowledge, thermal imaging and drones/UAS will be part of the conversation. Programme, venue and participation details will be shared when confirmed.

An illustrated echidna mystery is in development. Become the fifth Echidna Detective, follow the clues with four young investigators and discover why protecting the “haystack” matters.
