SUMMARY:Holding Tight - Linking Springbrook and Lamington National Park
DESCRIPTION:Tree planting to continue the Gold Coast Biggest Tree Planting Day efforts and help link Springbrook NP with Lamington NP\n\n\n \nThe Numinbah Valley Environmental Education Centre P&C (NVEEC P&C) is excited to continue its landscape scale restoration project “Numinbah-Holding Tight”\, which aims to improve the resilience of species and ecosystems in the Numinbah Valley\, and surrounding area\, by creating a green corridor linking Springbrook and Lamington National Park. \n \nThis project was initially started in August 2019\, at the Seqwater/Watergum- Gold Coast Biggest Tree Planting Day\, where 15\,000 native tube stock were planted by the community on old dairy pasture in the Numinbah Valley. \n \nIn Sept 2020\, NVEEC P&C became involved through funding from Landcare Australia\, where this volunteer group commenced monthly field days to encourage on-going community participation in this important project. \n \nToday\, NVEEC P&C with the help from community volunteers and high school students\, have since added a further 14\,000 native tube stock to the project and we are looking to grow this number even further in 2024! \n \nIf you’re looking to get your hands dirty\, meet others and contribute in a positive way to the local environment the NVEEC P&C field days are the perfect opportunity to volunteer for a couple of hours every quarter in 2024. \n \nAfterwards\, everyone is welcome to stay and enjoy a cuppa which includes our famous morning tea! \n \nChildren are welcome to attend\, they must be supervised by an adult at all times to ensure their safety and quality of work is maintained e.g. plants correctly planted and watered as per instructions. \n \nPlease be prepared for each field day by bringing the following: \n• Appropriate clothing for working in the bush (long pants and sleeves recommended) \n• Hat \n• Full water bottle \n• Enclosed shoes \n• Positive attitude! \n \nAddress: Gold Coast Model Flying Club- Nerang Murwillumbah Road (type this into Google). If coming from Nerang the entrance is just past the Springbrook turnoff. \n \nParking: Look out for signs and follow instructions at entrance gate. All weather road\, parking will be at Model Flying Club facility. \n \nPlease note by registering your attendance this helps with planning and record keeping for each field day.

SUMMARY:Waterbug Sampling - Guanaba
DESCRIPTION:Waterbug Sampling – Guanaba\n\n\nLearn how to assess the health of our waterways by sampling and collecting data on waterbug species. \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. \nThis activity is suitable for both children (age 5+) and adults. \nYou will learn how to collect waterbug samples correctly before collecting and identifying the different species. \nThe data collected is nationally recognised and is shared with our local councils to provide up to date information about the health of our waterways. \nWe sample waterbugs 4 times a year\, come along to your local sampling session every three months to see how the biodiversity changes with the seasons. \n \nWhere is it? \nGuanaba Creek\, 33 Tarata Road\, Guanaba \nGPS Co-Ordinates: -27.93784\, 153.25249 \n \nWhat to bring \n*Gum boots/water shoes. No one will be permitted to enter the water without close-toe 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 \nPlease make sure to register to secure your place and receive event updates. \n \nIf we have to cancel this event due to weather concerns\, attendees will be notified via email. \n \nEmail: watermonitoring@watergum.org \nWebsite: www.watergum.org \n \nThis event is proudly supported by the City of Gold Coast\, Catchment and Citizen Science Grants Program.

SUMMARY:Nestbox Building
DESCRIPTION:Would you like to construct your own nest box that you can then put up at home in your garden?\n\n\n Although most of us live in urban environments\, we share those spaces with lots of native wildlife!   \nMany Australian animals rely on tree hollows for homes and when they aren’t available\, they can find themselves in tricky situations\, becoming trapped in buildings and vulnerable to predators. One solution is to build a hollow replacement in the form of a nest box!  \nThis workshop will provide up to 20 families with the wood to construct your own nest box that you can then put up at home in your garden. You will be guided in how to build your nestbox and how to select a suitable location for it where it will be suitable for native wildlife. \nImportant information:  \n\nRegistrations required for all attendees – spaces are limited! \nSuitable for ages 6 years and older – parent/guardian supervision required for under 18’s.\nThis event may be cancelled or postponed if the weather conditions aren’t suitable. We will notify you via text and email no later than 1 hour prior to the start of the event.\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.
