Congratulations to NBBCC bushcare group who have been successful in receiving a 3 year QLD GOV Grassroots Environmental Grant to assist volunteers with Cooloosa Urban Wetland Stage 5 rehabilitation – The Big One!

NICA’s weed warriors are on fire! We nailed two hugely successful outings to Sheep Island, ripping out Easter Cassia before it could drop its destructive seeds.

NICA recently thanked volunteer Jill Dening for her outstanding 20 years of monitoring and protecting migratory and resident shorebirds across South-East Queensland, and in particular the Noosa Estuary.

NICA was delighted to join Noosa Council and other local environmental groups for discussions on the Destination Management Plan.

As part of the Tread Lightly program we visited Woods Bay on 19th February. A lovely spot but full of Gloriosa, Asparagus, Corky passionflower and Easter cassia weeds.

Here is the very interesting story of NBBCC bushcare group, a group of volunteers who over the past 18 years has secured 22 grants totaling $575,800 across multiple sites in Noosa.

As part of the Engaging Science project 'Tread Lighlty' there are three more events at which you can volunteer. Events 8, 9 and 10 at The Sand Island, Cranks Creek and Sheep Island.

We are seeking volunteers to help us with this beach clean-up event, 'Clean up for Hatchlings', at Sunrise Beach on Saturday 31st January.

There are changes to the regulations for boating on the Noosa River. MSQ is delivering the changes to address safety, amenity and environmental issues resulting from vessel congestion in the Noosa River.

Pop down to the Noosa library where Pam Walpole and Yanni Van Zijl have created an Art Installation specifically about the migratory sea birds that nest and rest in the Noosa estuary.
