Toad Busters
Gladstone, Jan 28th and 6 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.

Cheetham Wetlands Environmental Improvement
Melbourne, Jan 28th and 9 other dates
The Point Cook Coastal Park and Cheetham Wetlands are located 20km southwest of Melbourne, and feature salt marshes, lagoons from Skeleton Creek, intertidal sand banks and a Marine Sanctuary.
The park ranks among the top places in the world for migratory wading birds.
The Point Cook Marine Sanctuary lies just offshore from the park and covers nearly 300 hectares. It was declared a sanctuary in 2004 to protect the marine ecosystems of the basalt reef and is relatively unspoilt being one of the last intact reef environments in Port Phillip Bay.
Protecting the habitat values on the land feeds into the marine sanctuary as it reduces sediment runoff and pollution entering the bay. Join us to assist with tasks such as weed management and litter collection to protect and preserve this valuable area of Melbourne.
Please ensure appropriate clothing is worn for long periods outdoors - this includes sturdy footwear, long pants and long sleeved shirt. Please bring your own lunch and bottle of water.

Revive - Swan Canning River Recovery
South Perth, Jan 28th and 34 other dates
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. We will be returning to each of these sites over the next three years, allowing our volunteer teams to see the impact and transformation of their efforts.
Revive - Trigg and Sorrento Beaches
Fremantle, January 28th
Perths' northern beaches are iconic and receive 250,000 visitors a year. The natural areas along our coastline have been allowed to degrade considerably over the years with invasion of weed species, decline of native plants and severe erosion from tides, storms and the public.
Conservation volunteers will be assisting the Northern Coastcare groups to regenerate these coastal environments with the planting of local plants, tree guarding, hand weeding, green stock maintenance and general site maintenance.
