SUMMARY:Beach Clean with TurtleWatch GC @ Broadbeach
DESCRIPTION:A TurtleWatch Beach Clean by Watergum and Sea World sponsored by Landcare Australia\, Billabong and Boardriders.\n\n\nJoin TurtleWatch for a Beach Clean at various local beaches this turtle season! \nFrom November through to March\, TurtleWatch Gold Coast in collaboration with Watergum and Sea World will be visiting beaches along the Gold Coast to spread awareness about turtle activity. These beach cleans ups will aim to educate local communities on the importance of marine turtles\, their presence on the Gold Coast\, and what we can do to help! \nGuided turtles walks will run simultaneously whilst rubbish is removed from turtle nesting habitats. As we collect rubbish\, a TurtleWatch representative will run through how to conduct TurtleWalk so attendees can conduct their own independently and contribute to turtle data! \nThe TurtleWalk will go through the following components: \n\nGeneral turtle education\nTurtle ID and patterns\nHow to monitor turtle activity to collect data\nTurtle First Aid\nTurtleWatch Data entry\n\nThis event is a great way to improve your turtle knowledge as well as the techniques used to monitor turtle activity here on the Gold Coast.   \nPlease register to receive event details. Please cancel if you are not able to join us so we can give your spot to someone else. \nThis program is funded by City of Gold Coast\, Landcare Australia\, Billabong and Boardriders.

SUMMARY:Waterbugs - Coomera River
DESCRIPTION:Water Bugs & Water Quality Testing\n\n\nLearn how to assess the health of our waterways by foraging for waterbugs! \nYou may not have noticed before\, but our rivers and creeks are home to hundreds of different species of waterbugs! Some of these waterbugs are very sensitive to pollution and so through their presence or absence\, we are able to determine whether a particular waterway is healthy or not. The data collected is nationally recognised and is shared with our local councils to provide up to date information about the health of our waterways. Collecting and identifying these waterbugs also happens to be a whole heap of fun! \nCoordinated by Watergum and supported by the City of Gold Coast and Logan City Council. The Water Quality Monitoring program is a collaborative effort between Gecko\, Nerang River Keepers and Austinville Landcare. \nWhat to bring \n*Gum boots/water shoes. No one will be permitted to enter the water without shoes due to safety concerns. \n*Sun protection: Natural non-polluting sunscreen\, wide-brimmed hat\, long sleeves \n*Towel \n*Lots of drinking water \n*Glasses/contact lenses \n*Pen/pencil \nPlease make sure to register to get all the updates on locations and times! This program is suitable for all age levels. \nWebsite: www.watergum.org \nEmail: watermonitoring@watergum.org \nPlease make sure that you’re aware of current covid-19 restrictions: https://www.qld.gov.au/health/conditions/health-alerts/coronavirus-covid-19

SUMMARY:Cane Toad Busting
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a cane toad busting activity with the family and help hunt for one of Australia’s most unwanted pests!\n\n\nCome along to this one of a kind event – Cane Toad Busting – where you and your family can directly help Logan’s biodiversity. Council has partnered with Watergum to play our part in reducing cane toads numbers and in doing so\, provide a safer environment for our native frogs and other wildlife. \nCane toads are highly toxic at every life stage\, presenting a significant danger to pets\, wildlife and agriculture. These pests spread at an alarming rate and we need to work together to reduce their numbers and reclaim our properties and natural areas. \nAs we explore Spring Mountain Reserve\, you learn all about our native frogs\, how to identify cane toads\, how to collect them by hand and then how to remove them from the environment. There will be a giveaway for the participant who collect the most toads on the night! \nRequirements: \n\nPlease wear fully enclosed shoes.\nPlease bring water bottle\, insect repellent\, bucket (ideally with a lid)\, a torch\, rubber gloves and a litter picker (optional).\nSuitable for ages 8 years and over\, parent/guardian supervision required.\n\nImportant information: \n\nBookings required for all attendees. Places are limited.\nWe will euthanise and dispose of the toads humanely and responsibly after the event.\nPlease make sure you are aware of the current COVID-19 restrictions and do not attend if you are displaying COVID-19 or cold/flu symptoms\, no matter how mild.\nIf you can no longer attend\, please cancel your booking via Eventbrite to free up your place to those who are on the waiting list. Alternatively\, contact the Councils Environment Team on (07) 3412 4491 or environment@logan.qld.gov.au.\nFor more information email canetoads@watergum.org and the website: www.watergum.org/canetoads\n\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.
