About the Biology Society of South Australia
The Biology Society of South Australia (BSSA) is a place for people with an interest in biodiversity, bio-discovery, and bio-conservation.
The BSSA runs events throughout the year for members to gain practical experience in field biology, and hone their natural history knowledge. The society is also about sharing an interest in biology and science, which we explore with our talks with industry professionals, researchers, and in our podcast series. And, of course, one of our main activities each year is teaming up with the Nature Conservation Society of South Australia for our Field Research Grant.
Volunteer Opportunities with the BSSA
The BSSA uses volunteer opportunities to help members gain experience in the field. The BSSA draws on a network of research projects which need volunteers in some of Australia's most remote and beautiful locations. There are also volunteer opportunities from local organisations that work in the field of conservation and field biology.
