“It is very likely that we will find a new spider species at Woodfordia.”

- Robert Whyte, co-author of A Field Guide to Spiders of Australia (CSIRO) 

Woodfordia's bioQuest is a real-world advanture into nature that contributes to science. Woodfordia, home of The Woodford Folk Festival, was once a cleared and degraded dairy farm, and is now home to all sorts of gorgeous life - bio-luminescent fungi, the vulnerable Richmond Birdwing Butterfly and the threatened Glossy Black Cockatoo.

Thanks for all the bioQuesting fun @ the Planting Festival? Remember you can join the 'Woodfordia' clan to continue the adventure!
