SUMMARY:Gold Coast Volunteer Event - Nerang National Park Citizen Science
DESCRIPTION:Gold Coast Volunteer Event – Nerang National Park Citizen Sci
 ence\nJoin Friends of Nerang National Park for an unforgettable nocturnal 
 citizen science adventure in Nerang National Park on the Gold Coast - and 
 help monitor one of Australia's most remarkable and endangered marsupials.
 \nDid you know Nerang National Park is home to the Greater Glider - the wo
 rld's largest gliding marsupial? Roughly the size of a domestic cat with a
  long fluffy tail and distinctive large ears\, Greater Gliders are large n
 octurnal marsupials that feed almost exclusively on eucalyptus leaves and 
 depend on large hollow-bearing trees for shelter. Because Greater Gliders 
 rely on mature forest with numerous hollow-bearing trees\, monitoring thei
 r presence provides a vital indicator of forest habitat condition in South
  East Queensland.\nPicking up on efforts from previous years\, Friends of 
 Nerang National Park are inviting the community to help map and record Gre
 ater Glider habitat through a hands-on spotlighting event. Led by experien
 ced team leaders who will guide you through the park\, sharing their knowl
 edge of locating and identifying nocturnal wildlife\, this is a rare oppor
 tunity to contribute real data to the conservation of an endangered specie
 s - and to experience the hidden after-dark world of one of the Gold Coast
 's most significant national parks.\nAn ideal event for budding citizen sc
 ientists\, wildlife enthusiasts\, nature lovers\, and anyone curious about
  Queensland's nocturnal animals. Spaces are strictly limited - register ea
 rly to secure your spot.\nThis event is recommended for ages 16+. Particip
