Local Species Projects
Golden-rayed Blue butterfly, Wimmera Catchment
The Golden-rayed Blue butterfly is endangered and only lives in certain areas. If you live within the Wimmera Catchment area (this includes schools in Balmoral and Hopetoun) we need your help improving habitat, raising awareness and contributing to citizen science for this species.
