Downloading and using the Fieldbook weed app

We’ve launched a new mobile phone app – called Fieldbook – that turns locals into citizen scientists and helps boost nature and biodiversity in our region. And we want your help! It’s easy to download the free Fieldbook app, which allows you to record target invasive weed species you see in any area of bushland, national park, road verge or reserve in the region. Become a citizen scientist and do you bit to help nature while you’re out and about in our region! More than 13 weed species can be reported, including arum lilies and all the highest priority non-native weedy weed trees that are a major conservation concern To help with the launch of the app and its success, we'll be running a series of free community workshops in coming months to help locals learn to identify some of the more common weeds in our region. They'll include a session on installing the app, collecting data in the field and how to identify target species. The information will be shared with community groups and government departments to help map infestations and identify priority areas. Weed mapping is also important to identify the extent of weed infestations, and zero in on threats to high priority areas. “We’re really excited. The Fieldbook app will enable us to get weed mapping data across the whole region that will lead to good decision making and priority setting, and assist with long term monitoring,” says Nature Conservation’s biodiversity officer Peta Lierich.

Community groups including the Friends of Barrett Street Reserve and Nature Conservation’s Friends of Wooditjup Bilya are already using the app to record any weed sightings. Staff from the Margaret River Busselton Tourism Association’s Capes Foundation are also using the app. And local ecotourism business Cape to Cape Explorer Tours has come on board too, with its tour guides soon to be using the app to record any weeds sighted on or near the Cape to Cape Track. “We’re urging everyone in the community to get involved, particularly if you get out and about recreationally in our bushland and national park areas,” Peta says. This is part of our Woody Weeds and Arum Lily Blitz campaigns, funded by the State Natural Resource Management Program WA 👍
