Afterwards\, 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).

DESCRIPTION:Learn how to recognise the presence and health of koalas in a habitat; how to upload sightings and the importance of koala scat (aka POO).\n\n\n**Please see the map below – do not follow your GPS. See map below.**\nWhat will you learn?\nIt’s not always easy to see koalas in their natural habitat but you don’t have to see them to know they are there. Learn the telltale signs to know they are about. \nLearn how to recognise the signs of unhealthy koalas and what to do. Disease can easily spread. \nDo you know how and where to upload sightings? Data is important. Data helps us to know where koalas are living and travelling and how to connect healthy populations and protect habitat.\nLearn the importance of scat collecting to inform our understanding of our local koalas. \n** There will be a night-spotting session for those who want to stay on.\n\n\n\n\nThis event is hosted by Boonah and District Landcare’s Keep Calm\, Grow Trees series and the Fassifern Koala Action Group.
