Tweed Shire Council – Community Toad Bust

Tweed Shire Council has partnered with not-for-profit community environment group Watergum to bring cane toad control to the Tweed this season.

Cane toads in the Tweed cause declines in our native wildlife, poison domestic pets and have negative impacts on our local agricultural industries.

Join our Community Toad Bust on Tuesay, 14th January at 7.00pm to 9.00pm (AEDT) in Murwillumbah and work together to control cane toads! This is a great activity for the whole family.

Meeting location: Knox Park, Murwillumbah – meet in front of the main carpark off Wollumbin Street.

Come along to meet some like-minded individuals, learn some new toad busting skills and make a difference for our environment! There will be prizes up for grabs for the top toad busters!

How the event will run:

Watergum staff will welcome you with a brief educational talk, then we will split into groups and work together to clear the park of as many cane toads as we can!

Please wear closed in shoes and appropriate clothing for the outdoors at night. If you have a toad busting kit, please bring it along on the night! If not, Watergum will have gear available to use.

Thanks to Tweed Shire Council, we will have some prizes to give away to the teams who collect the most toads on the night!

Toad busting kit equipment:

• Bucket with a lid
• Rubber or garden gloves
• Torch

• Pick up stick optional

We can’t wait to see you there and work together to make a real difference!

Spaces are limited so please register to attend.
