17-8-2020 Thanks to a Noosa Council Community and Environment grant of $5,323 the Urban Wildlife Gardens Program in Noosa will continue into 2021. The program increases members’ understanding of biodiversity values on their property, and promotes enjoyment, raising awareness and facilitating citizen science”. The continuation of the “Urban Wildlife Gardens” program, implemented and managed by NICA engages the urban community living within the Noosa Biosphere Reserve, helping them undertake actions to enhance wildlife habitats in their back yards. Residents of Noosa Shire can join the program by paying the one off $30 joining fee. They will then receive a visit to their garden with expert advice on ways to attract native wildlife, as well as free periodic workshops.
