LORD Howe Island lies in the South Pacific Ocean, about 600km directly east of Port Macquarie, so it is part of New South Wales.
The island is a volcanic remnant, and in 1982 gained World Heritage status due to its outstanding natural values. These include the great number of plant and animal species unique to the area. Lord Howe Island’s fringing coral reef is the southernmost reef ecosystem in the world.
At Noosa Parks Association’s Friday Environment Forum on 27 March, you can learn about the protection of Lord Howe Island’s environment from invasive weed species and view a DVD of the climb to the summit of its tallest peak, Mt Gower.
Come along to Noosa Parks Association’s Environment Centre, Wallace Drive, Noosaville, from 10am for coffee, with the forum commencing at 10.30am. Meet Valda in the car park at 8.30am for an interpretive birding stroll in Wallace Park. All are welcome.
