Beaudesert Landcare – Cane Toad Tadpole Trapping Workshop
Watergum’s Cane Toad Tadpole Trapping is coming to the Scenic Rim!
Watergum has partnered with Beaudesert Landcare and Scenic Rim Regional Council to deliver a hands-on cane toad tadpole trapping workshop this season.
Beaudesert Landcare have purchased a limited number of traps to lend out to interested participants for use on private properties and this is a fantastic opportunity to learn how to effectively use them.
Did you know? Cane toads are toxic at every life stage and female cane toads can lay up to 35,000 eggs at a time! This presents danger to our pets, wildlife and agriculture.
Join us on 6th December at 5.30pm to learn how to identify cane toads, reduce toad numbers, toad-proof your water-bodies and get hands-on experience tadpole trapping.
