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. Alternatively\, contact the Councils Environment Team on (07) 3412 4491 or environment@logan.qld.gov.au.\nFor more information email info@watergum.org and the website: www.watergum.org \n\nThe workshop is delivered by Watergum and  Crestmead Men’s Shed as part of the City of Logan’s Environmental Events and Activities program and Citizen Science initiatives.
