Saving the wetlands

It is with great anticipation that Judith Hoyle will be the guest presenter at NPA’s Friday Forum on 11 June. Judith became an avid birdwatcher in her 20’s and is now the driving force behind the efforts to save Toondah Harbour from development. Of that campaign she says, ‘With the backing of my committee and BirdLife Australia, I morphed into a shorebird activist/conservationist.‘

At the Friday Forum, Judith will present the great news story of the Yandina Creek Wetlands and the ‘Blue Heart’ initiative where Unitywater opened some of the tidal floodgates which transformed a drained floodplain to the Yandina Creek Wetlands, once again teeming with birdlife. Come and learn about the rehabilitation of the site through the ‘Blue Heart’ initiative which is a win-win for the birds and the broader environment.

The forum on June 11th will be at the NPA Environment Centre, 5 Wallace Drive Noosaville, for limited numbers owing to COVID restrictions. To come to the EC, it is essential to pre-register. Entry is $5 by ‘tap & go’ at the door. Go to www.noosaparks.org.au for the registration link.
