Thank you for your interest in Bush Blitz, Australia's largest nature discovery project. A collaboration between the Australian Government, BHP and Earthwatch Australia, Bush Blitz sees specialist taxonomists, Indigenous communities, rangers and landholders, teachers, students and BHP employees working together to protect our country’s natural heritage.

The next Bush Blitz expedition will be taking place on Wadja Country, in the Expedition Ranges, from 11-18 November 2025. As part of the Bush Blitz partnership, BHP employees have the opportunity to participate in the expedition by helping scientists with vital data collection, learning scientific skills, and participating in reflective journaling sessions. Activities may include:
  • Using nets and traps to collect bugs, spiders and other invertebrates
  • Collecting and preserving native plants
  • Participating in biodiversity discussions and reflective activities
  • Assisting Bush Blitz staff with driving responsibilities

Participation is via competitive application, so if you are interested in joining us, please complete the form below. It is important to note that while this is an extremely rewarding and even life-changing opportunity, conditions can be quite challenging; facilities at base camp are sometimes very basic (i.e. camping with drop toilets and 'bucket' showers) and days in the field can often be long. If you still feel like this is something you would enjoy, we look forward to receiving your application!

All training will be provided, and no prior experience is necessary.
Bush Blitz is a fully-funded program - flights, accommodation and all meals are included.

*Applicants should note an extra travel day either side of these dates will likely be required
