By joining us on this project, you'll be working alongside local council and Friends groups to clear noxious weeds in the Altona Coastal Park area. You will also have the opportunity to collect native seeds from the Greenwich Reserve area with a focus on revegetation of mangroves to help prevent further erosion in various areas in Hobsons Bay. These tasks will also help to provide suitable vegetation and habitat for several species of native birds found in the area.

Toad Busters
Gladstone, Feb 18th and 3 other dates
Join the Gladstone office as we continue our campaign to rid the Gladstone region of the notorious pest…The Cane Toad!
The team will be catching and removing cane toads from a number of fresh water areas around the city.
The poisonous introduced toads pose a serious threat to native wildlife. A female adult Cane Toad can produce up to 35,000 eggs twice a year! Last season we removed over 5,000 toads, so even if just half were feamles we have potentially reduced breeding numbers by 175 million.
This year the Toad Busters team will also be constructing and using new Cane Toad tadpole traps with the help of Gladstone Regional Council and the University of Queensland, come early in the evening and learn how to construct, set and use these traps at your own dam or waterhole
The project is a fantastic opportunity to involve the whole family in an activity that directly benefits the local environment.

The foreshore areas of the City of South Perth are adjacent to the Swan and Canning Rivers and are important ecological corridors aiding the movement of fauna from inland reserves to and from the river system. South Perth contains the most extensive wetlands in the lower reaches of the Swan and Canning Rivers, with foreshore vegetation that is not found anywhere else along these rivers. The area provides habitat for over 74 species of land and water birds, including 14 significant bird species, 12 reptiles and 6 amphibian species.
Join our volunteers in removing invasive plant species to improve the growth of native vegetation. Volunteers will also be planting new vegetation to stabilise the river banks and prevent erosion.

These numbers are large, much larger than we might imagine are needed for some our native wildlife to survive and thrive. Our Green Links projects address this need by extending, reconnecting and recreating large areas of bushland habitat for a range of animals – and for plants too, that need places for their seed to spread and establish.
