This summer NICA and Bush Renewalls are working with conservation volunteers to clean up and repair some of the most degraded wetland sites in Noosa Estuary.
NICA’s Peter Hunnam said the hot and humid foreshore fun continues with weeding and cleaning up the foreshore at Shields Street on Friday 2 February from 7am. On Saturday from 7-10am everyone is welcome to join in the clean up and weeding, learn about the Wetland restoration process, help to start re-planting of the degraded areas, if conditions are suitable and share morning tea and discussion on the progress.
Next week the team are looking for volunteers to weed and clean up the Tewantin Park foreshore, in front of the Gallery on Wednesday 7 and Friday 9 February.
On Saturday 10 February there will be a Wetlands field day with morning tea and discussion, after weeding from 7am.
Participants need to sign on and off with site coordinator, wear long pants, long-sleeved shirt, hat, gloves, boots and bring sunscreen, insect repellent, sunglasses/ safety glasses, water, a small hand weeding tool if you have one and any questions about wetlands, weeds, restoration actions, and any questions which organisers will try to answer them.
Also bring a chair, if you like, for the morning teas on Saturdays and keep a wary eye on the weather. No unaccompanied children please
For more email NICA office manager at admin@noosariver.com.au or phone 5449 9650. Check the NICA website for site changes due to wet weather.
