Please indicate which TeachLive programs you are interested in below.

'BushBlitz TeachLive', where teachers will travel with scientists to a remote location as part of Australia's largest nature discovery program, to discover new species and collect data that will protect our biodiversity for generations to come. Bush Blitz is a partnership program between the Earthwatch, the Australian Government and BHP Billiton Sustainable Communities.

'Snorkeling Queensland's Underwater Meadows', where teachers and scientists will snorkel, boat and wade in the clear waters of Morton Bay to discover how the rapid urbanisation of Brisbane is impacting on the wildlife and ecology of this vital marine ecosystem (open to Victorian teachers only)
