I’m really excited about an upcoming event that Napoleon Reef Landcare is running on Sunday 19 October at the beautiful Napoleon Reef Reserve. It’s called Biodiversity in Miniature—and the whole idea is to slow down, look closely, and celebrate the incredible variety of life around us.

One of the highlights on the program is what they’re calling Australia’s shortest bushwalk 😂. It might only be a tiny stretch of track, but it’s the perfect way to stop rushing and start noticing the small but important things in our ecosystems.

There’ll also be opportunities to take part in mini flora surveys (think clipboards, plant spotting, and feeling like a budding ecologist) and to get your hands dirty making seed bombs to help revegetate an eroded creekline. It sounds like a great mix of learning, fun, and practical action for the environment.

For me, events like this are such a good reminder that biodiversity isn’t just “out there” in far-off wilderness areas—it’s right here in our own backyard, if we take the time to look.
