Calling all Bruny Island Nature lovers!

'Crowd-sourcing' the Nature of Bruny: An exciting project to bring together, online, the knowledge, stories and challenges facing the Nature of Bruny Island

Inala Nature Tours, the Bruny Island Environment Network and the new online platform for Nature, Kuno, are excited to share an amazing project to ‘crowd-source’ an online field guide to the Natural history and stories of lunawanna-alonnah Bruny Island.

The idea is to build a meeting place for the Nature of Bruny online, where the people who care about and have knowledge of the Island can share their knowledge and love of Bruny with people who are seeking a deeper understanding and connection with this extraordinary place. The idea and vision is to nurture a community of stewards who love and are committed to Bruny Island's long-term future.

Do you have some special knowledge or understanding of the Natural history, wildlife, stories or challenges facing Bruny Island - lunawannah-alonnah? Have you a story to share?

We would love for you to be part of crowd-sourcing the Natural history and stories of this extraordinary corner of our remarkable planet.

As easy as 1, 2, 3!

We would absolutely love for you to be involved.

The way it works, is that everyone who is involved has a different area of knowledge, story to tell or particular insight into this land and its stories, beauty and needs. You or your organisation's contribution is yours to tell, will sit on your own page, and will link to the relevant parts of the crowd-sourced guide.

To contribute, it is simple:

STEP 1: Set-up your page to become a contributor here

STEP 2: Submit an article, story or gallery through your page or email it to: office@kuno.earth

STEP 3: We'll do some basic editing and checks for accuracy - then upload it!

Writing
Send an existing article or pen a new article that adds to the shared knowledge of the Nature and stories of Bruny.
Your story and contribution, presented beautifully

A growing group of incredible people are contributing writing, articles, interviews and photography to make this online guide a rich and beautiful resource for the public. We can help you with your contributions to the guide. We are very lucky to have some incredibly skilled, knowledgeable and passionate people supporting this inspiring project, including talented photo-journalist Dan Broun, experienced writer and journalist Peta Carlyon and local GP, conservationist and author Dr Phill Pullinger

We can help bring your contributions to life - Dan has been conducting broadcast quality interviews with a number of the contributing experts, people and groups involved - and we can line that up with you too - and also provide you the full transcript, video and audio for you and your organisations' use for your own work too. If you would like to organise this, send an Email to: life@kuno.earth and we'll tee it up.
