The Bugging Out Project grant was awarded to the Yarrowee Leigh Catchment Group in 2025. Our goal is to share knowledge with our community in order to increase awareness about insects, their importance in our ecosystems, with hope that this knowledge can slow the rate of insect decline. We hope to share best practice methodology to support insect populations and bring back the wonder and awe for the creepy crawlies in our gardens.
YLCG are hosting a series of free community workshops all about the wonderful insect world. Keep an eye out on our social media pages for upcoming workshops, and register via the booking link within each event post.
Guest speakers will share their knowledge with participants, which will be further supported by the inclusion of engaging hands-on activities such as creating your own bee-safe, bee hotel, or by helping to trap insects in the Woowookarung Regional Park- contributing to citizen science.
We are passionate about collaborating with a wide range of stakeholders to deliver small and largescale environmental restoration programs that restore the Yarrowee, Leigh and Woady Yaloak Rivers and their surroundings.
