The Atlas team are very excited to announce that there will be a series of eBird workshops being held in December 2023, with members of the eBird team!
With the help of Birds New Zealand, Zealandia, Nelson City Council, Environment Canterbury, Queenstown Lakes District Council and Whakatipu Wildife Trust, the Atlas team, and the eBird team have worked hard to set up eBird workshops in Auckland, Wellington, Nelson, Christchurch, Dunedin and Queenstown this December!
Ian Davies and Tom Auer from the eBird team are visiting from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology in the US and will be showcasing how to use eBird and eBird data for your birding and conservation research—completely for free. They’ll explore the value of this free global community science tool and how your observations can support local to global bird conservation and research, as well as how eBird data informs our understanding of species distribution, status, and population trends. You are invited to come along to learn about how your eBird observations can inform research and conservation action here in Aotearoa New Zealand and beyond.
Locations can be seen in the map below with further details for each workshop provided underneath. Please RSVP using the links provided.
We hope to see some of you there!
