NATIVE flora and fauna was the talk of the night at Canapes and Callistemons over the weekend, with Noosa and District Landcare and public relations students from the University of the Sunshine Coast teaming up to raise awareness of the importance of local conservation.
The event was held at Outrigger Little Hastings Street and supported by Katz Body Art, Makin’ Roses and several more local business sponsors.
USC community events project tutor and mentor Anne Lawrence said she was proud of the effort students put in.
“They have been creative, industrious and surprised me every step of the way, they have been fabulous.”
Noosa and District Landcare General Manager Phillip Moran said the public relations students from USC worked hard to organise the event.
“I’ve been very pleased to work with the students, they have been fantastic,” he said.
Mr Moran said he was thankful for the support from Outrigger and all of the sponsors.
“It’s a great thing to get young people interested in the environment because they’re the stewards of our environment,” he said.
USC PR student Jen Cochrane said it was great to have the support of Outrigger and Noosa and District Landcare.
“We’re really happy with how it’s turned out, we’ve got over 80 people here and some fantastic sponsors,” she said.
