Noosa will showcase nature at its best including its wonderful spring wildflowers as part of the annual Sunshine Coast Wildflower Festival next month.
The full program runs from Sunday 17 August to 1 September and offers 21 free walks and other activities at different Sunshine Coast locations from Bribie Island in the south to Noosa North Shore.
Coordinated by Sunshine Coast Council, each activity has a particular theme, including local wildflowers and wildlife, fire management for biodiversity and traditional cultural landscape.
Noosa Integrated Catchment Association (NICA) is one of the groups who will be guiding four of the seven walks in the Noosa area. The walks have been chosen to enable people to explore some of the many different habitats and plant communities around Noosa.
NICA’s four walks will be led by experienced local guides – botanists and naturalists – who will inspire and share their knowledge along the way. The public can choose from the popular Headland Section of Noosa National Park, a hidden gem in Girraween Nature Refuge, the woodlands of Arthur Harrold Nature Refuge at Noosa North Shore and a discovery tour of the mysteries of mangroves. This last walk is fully accessible to people in wheelchairs.
The full program of walks and activities can be found on the Sunshine Coast Council website.
Printed programs are also available from the Noosa Council and the Noosa Libraries.
Limited places are available on the walks, for NICA’s four walks only, email admin@noosariver.com.au.
