Clean-Up Australia Day is Sunday 2nd March this year and once again the whole of the Noosa community is encouraged to help remove any litter and rubbish from our parks and streets, waterways, wetlands and along the foreshores and beaches of our beautiful region.

NICA is delighted and appreciates receiving a 12 months Queensland Government "Engaging Science" grant.

Bruce McConkey and the Noosa River WaterWatch program have been inseparable for nearly 20 years.  During that time Bruce has kept his eye on the river tides, and has run a roster to make sure the band of dedicated WaterWatch volunteers were in the right place at the right time.  

In October, the NICA AGM was held at the Yacht Club where a new NICA committee was appointed. It is a great mix of experienced enthusiastic NICA members and enthusiastic active volunteers.

An update on the various NICA projects - Riverwatch, Shorebirds, Waterwtch, Bushcare, Oyster Gardening, Urban Wildlife Gardens and Clean Up Australia Day.

The Urban Wildlife Gardens program continues to achieve its objectives with the support that comes from being part of NICA and the funding provided by Noosa Council through their Alliance Partnership.
