BugWise

The partnerships

BugWise first began in 2004. The project was a partnership between the Australian Museum, Conservation Volunteers Australia and Rio Tinto, supported by Coal & Allied Community Trust. Today, BugWise has evolved into one that still has a presence in the Hunter, but has also moved outside the Hunter Valley and into other regional areas in NSW.

We gratefully acknowledge the continued support of the Coal & Allied Community Trust for BugWise Outreach 07 in the Hunter Valley, and also thank the NSW Environmental Trust for financial support in taking the BugWise to other areas in NSW.
