Nature Detective Application
The Tawny Tragedy program includes a nature detective component. Students complete the nature detective application form (pre-assessment task) prior to the pre-visit tasks on pages 2-4 of the worksheet. After attending the excursion and solving a Tawny Tragedy, students complete a final nature detective task (post-assessment) either on the excursion day at Brewongle or back at school. Their nature detective certificates will then be sent to the school.
Please read the Police Report in your worksheet to establish the facts of the case and answer the Tawny Tragedy Pre-Visit Questions on your worksheet.

After you’ve visited Brewongle and conducted investigations to solve the case, we’d like you to help us save other native animals by completing the Tawny Tragedy Post Visit Activities. These are things you can do at school and at home which will really help protect Tawny Frogmouths and other native animals in their habitat.
Program feedback
"The day was a full inquiry from beginning to end where students did the research and came up with conclusions themselves"
