SUMMARY:Waterbugs Survey - Belivah Creek
DESCRIPTION:Calling budding water investigators of all ages!\n\n\nJoin us for our Waterbugs Survey and learn how to be a clever water investigator using all sorts of special equipment. You may not have noticed before\, but our rivers and creeks are home to hundreds of different species of waterbugs! \nUsing your detective skills\, you will be encouraged to discover and identify the amazing creatures lurking under the surface. You will learn how to forage for waterbugs and to check out what else is hidden in our waterways. \nWaterbugs are not only an important food source for many creatures\, but they play a vital role in the health of our waterways. Some are very sensitive to pollution\, so through monitoring their numbers and diversity we can keep track of how healthy our waterways are.  \nThe data collected is nationally recognised and shared with our local councils to provide up to date information about the health of our waterways. \nImportant information: \n\nSign up today\, spaces are limited! \nThis event is suitable for children 6 and over – parental/guardian supervision required.\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 watermonitoring@watergum.org and the website: www.watergum.org\n\nThe workshop is delivered by Watergum as part of the City of Logan’s Environmental Events and Activities Program and citizen science initiatives under the Albert River Vision.

SUMMARY:Cane Toad Busting
DESCRIPTION:Join us for THE GREAT CANE TOAD BUST 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 Berrinba Wetlands\, 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! \nThe Great Cane Toad Bust is a national initiative\, held annually\, to impact cane toad populations. We will euthanise and dispose of the toads humanely and responsibly after the event. \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.

DESCRIPTION:Join us for a night-time adventure to see which frog species are hiding in Logan’s parks and natural spaces!\n\n\nAustralia has over 240 species of native frogs. They are all around us and we want to teach you how to spot them and  appreciate them safely. \nThese amphibians are amazing – they drink through their skin\, use their eyes to swallow and inhabit every layer of the forest from the floor to the very tops of the trees! Frogs are one of the most threatened groups of animals on the planet\, it’s super important to learn as much about them as possible so we can help to support wild populations.  \nCome along for this family fun walk and have the opportunity to accompany a frog expert of a real wildlife survey. You will receive a crash course in frogs before venturing out into the night to see what we can find and document! \nDuring the walk you can help measure the health and distribution of frogs around the nation. From croaks and barks\, to whistles and bleats\, every frog species makes a unique sound. Using the free FrogID app\, you can record the frogs calling around you and help us count Australia’s frogs. \nRequirements: \n\nPlease wear fully long pants\, long-sleeved shirt and enclosed shoes.\nPlease bring water bottle\, a torch and a fully charged mobile device with FrogID app downloaded.\nSuitable for ages 5 years and over\, parent/guardian supervision required. \n\nImportant information: \n\nBookings required for all attendees.
