SUMMARY:Cane Toad Busting
DESCRIPTION:Impact cane toads through toad-busting! Learn everything you need to know about cane toads and how get rid of them in your own backyard.\n\n\nBring the family along to learn about these pests and their impact on native wildlife and compete for prizes! \nParticipants will be introduced to a revolutionary new method of cane toad control that uses the toad’s own toxins against them. Lures made from toxic cane toad glands tempt tadpoles into traps that can catch upwards of 4000 in one go!  \nIn 1935\, 102 cane toads were brought to Queensland in an attempt to control cane beetles which were decimating crops. The toads proved completely ineffective at controlling cane beetles but their enormous appetites and staggering breeding capabilities (females cane produce up to 70\,000 eggs a year!) meant they quickly monopolised habitat and food resources to the detriment of native species. They are now well established in 4 states and their numbers exceed 2 billion. \nCane toads present a serious threat to native species and to pets and it is important that we band together as a community and start impacting cane toads before they spread any further. \nLogan has partnered up with Watergum so we can play our part in reducing cane toad numbers and provide a safer environment for our native species. Come along to make a difference!  \nPlease bring a bucket (ideally with a lid)\, enclosed shoes\, rubber gloves\, torch\, and if you have one/want one\, a litter picker. \nThe event will be outdoors after dark so dress for the conditions and be aware of your surroundings. Very young children may not be suited to the activities.  \nPlease ensure you are signed in and present by 5.30 pm. \nAges: Family friendly \nThe workshop is delivered  by Watergum as part of the City of Logan’s Environmental Events and Activities Program and citizen science initiatives. \nPlease visit logan.qld.gov.au/environmentalevents for a complete listing of all environmental events and activities run by Logan City Council. \nDue to COVID-19\, for the safety of event attendees\, if you fall into any of the below categories please do not attend the event if :  \n\nyou have been overseas in the last 14 days prior to the event\,\nunwell or have a cough\, fever\, sore throat\, fatigue or shortness of breath\,\nyou have been in close contact with a person who is positive for COVID-19.\n\nPlease maintain 1.5 metres physical distancing during the event.
