'Quadrats Online' is the next web-based learning object to be released as part of the Ecolinc BWVP online outreach program. A teacher professional learning day is planned to demonstrate quadrat mapping on Friday 13 September 2013. Participants will explore virtual and actual plant quadrats to investigate the vegetation of the Western Volcanic Plains. Quadrats will be mapped using the new web-based tool at Ecolinc, followed by an optional trip to the Mt Rothwell Biodiversity Interpretation Centre to complete further quadrat mapping, and to view a range of nocturnal grassland species. Please note that DEECD professional learning funding will cover all Mt Rothwell costs. Please complete the registration form now available on the Ecolinc website.
