Environment Day celebrated

Family fun on World Environment Day

Be part of #GenerationRestoration and join the Sunshine Coast Environment Council (SCEC) in launching World Environment Day Festival 2021! This year’s theme is ecosystem restoration, and they are taking people on a journey throughout ecosystems across the Sunshine Coast.

Natalie Frost, WED Festival Coordinator says “This is the first year in the festival’s 41 year history that we have ticketed the event and run it over a month long program. We are delighted to have already sold almost half of the tickets with 2 weeks to go”.

The launch at the Doonan Creek Environmental Reserve will occur on the United Nations’ World Environment Day on the 5th of June. This is a family friendly event and you will have the opportunity to contribute to restoring an ecosystem by planting trees and learning about the conservation practices of the area. Other events in the area include a guided boat tour with Noosa Integrated Catchment Association, visiting the sand island stopover restoration project in the Noosa river estuary that preserves critical habitat for numerous threatened shorebird species.

To learn more about the WED Festival and other SCEC campaigns join the audience at Friday Environment Forum on May 28 at the Noosa Parks Association Environment Centre, 5 Wallace Drive, Noosaville with coffee, tea and biscuits available from 10am and the program starting at 10:30am. Entry is $5 by ‘tap & go’ only.

All COVID-19 protocols will be followed. Registration is essential via link found on www.noosaparks.org.au/friday-environment-forum/.
