WHO doesn’t enjoy having local birds, lizards and butterflies in the garden?
Sharing our gardens with wildlife is important for the survival of many local plant and animal species, it can reduce the time we might spend weeding and dealing with pests, and enhances our own health and wellbeing.
Mooloolah Rover Landcare’s Gardens for Wildlife Launch and Community Day is a morning dedicated to sharing how we can all make a difference and look after our wildlife by planting native plants.
Celebrating the launch of our Garden for Wildlife Program, community participants will have a chance to: sign up to the program, pick up their Garden for Wildlife sign and starter pack, listen to interesting speakers, buy native plant habitat packs to jump start their garden, see a showcase of Mooloolah River Landcare’s (MRL) current programs, find out about volunteer and citizen science opportunities, meet other like-minded people in your community, AND help conduct a baseline Bioblitz of an area behind our nursery, which we would like to turn into a community Garden for Wildlife showcase.
This day is made possible by a program collaboration with Barung Landcare, MRL’s wonderful staff and volunteers, and our current project support from the Sunshine Coast Council, Queensland Government, Seqwater and Unity water.
Food and Coffee will be available, as well and face painting, interactive displays and art activities to make this a really great day out for all ages!
