Project Noah and other apps

We have looked at a number of different applications for mobile devices and phones to help with the work we are doing at Gordon St. If you have an iPod Touch, iPhone or Android device you can try out the Project Noah app, its free to download or visit the iTunes store to get it for an Apple device.

The best way to find out how to use it is to get it and test it out! Have fun and let me know how it goes. If you post your 'spottings' on the map we can all see what you have discovered.

If you don't have a suitable mobile device you can still participate by using your computer, the school computers or at the library, go to Project Noah and enjoy.

"Project Noah is a tool to explore and document wildlife and a platform to harness the power of citizen scientists everywhere."

Update

It is nearly the end of term and the fences are up and the planting plan in development. There has been some graffiti in the past couple of months, but we are painting over it as quickly as it goes up. This will be less of a problem once the planting has established and started to grow up the fence panels.

Next year will be exciting as some of the ideas start to develop, these include more planting to provide shade for the water in the storm drain, building the insect hotels,a bioblitz to determine what currently lives in the area, plans for a bridge across the drain and backyard safaris.

We are always happy to look at new ideas, so if you have any flashes of genius over the holidays let us know.
