Nature Club at Bowfest August 2019

This year Bowen Nature Club once again had a booth at Bowfest! We featured multisensory games such as “Can you identify this tree?” and “Whose paw is this anyway?” as well as a full-colour marine animal quiz. The public was invited to examine a number of local animal skulls and encouraged to bring their own artifacts for identification. The table was manned by club members, including naturalists like Bowen’s Ecoreserve Warden Alan Whitehead and entomologist Will Husby, who were challenged to answer all manner of nature-related questions from the public.
