Richmond Birdwing Butterfly Community Education
Caloundra West, September 21st
The Birdwing butterfly vine is the main natural food plant for larvae of the Richmond birdwing butterfly. Due to clearing, the destruction of corridors and inadequate protection of key habitats, the vine’s habitat, lowland subtropical rainforest, is listed federally as Critically Endangered and Richmond birdwing butterfly as Vulnerable.
Join CVA and Noosa Landcare for an educational morning tea to learn all about these amazing butterflies, what is being done to bring them back to South East Queensland and what you can do to help!
This event is completely free and open to people of all ages, so bring your kids and grandparents along for a morning of educational fun! Please RSVP by Thursday 19th September to secure your place.
CVA would like to thank Stockland Aura for funding this project through their Community Grants Program.

Restoring Unique Habitats: Patawalonga Creek
Adelaide , Sep 23rd and 25 other dates
Patawalonga Creek was once a diverse watercourse running through the Adelaide plains which has now been contained in many places through the suburbs in concrete canals. There is, however, one part that you can still see some of the original Adelaide Plains creekside where now remains a significant remnant of the Swamp Paperbark plant community.
This part of the Patawalonga Creek runs through the grounds of Adelaide Airport and with their support Conservation Volunteers and Friends of Patawalonga Creek have been restoring the creek through seed collecting, native vegetation planting, weed control and surveys. This last little stretch of creek is an important refuge for aquatic life including tortoises, frog and waterbirds. Its’ Melaleuca trees are state heritage listed and there is also little blue bush that you won’t find in many places. The site has had fantastic changes over the years thanks to volunteers and it still needs your help to hold back the pressures of surrounding urbanisation.
Come and join our team of volunteers. It's a great opportunity to meet like-minded people and contribute to improving our environment.
PLEASE NOTE: It is also possible to meet on-site if that is easier for you, but please contact the office so we can confirm the exact meeting location and time.

Boneseed is listed as a 'Weed of National Significance' and is often regarded as one of the worst weeds in Australia because of its invasiveness, potential for spread, and its economic and environmental impacts. Join this project and help us tackle this aggressive invader!

Louisa Creek Reserve
Louisa Creek , September 23rd
Louisa Creek Reserve is home to many species characteristic of Queensland’s precious beach scrub habitats, and acts as a buffer between houses and the creek. The reserve is just thirty minutes’ drive south of Mackay, a fast-growing tropical city on the blue Pioneer River which is surrounded by un-crowded beaches, fields of waving sugar cane and peaceful rainforest reserves & parks. It has suffered from invasion by weeds, dumping and recreational driving.
The local community and Landcare group are committed to bringing the natural landscape back to full health, and CVA has been helping them for more than six years. Activities may include planting and looking after native trees, removing non-native vegetation, creating walking trails and putting up information signs.
Since the project began, significant areas have been transformed from thickets of invasive exotics to vigorous new native plantings. Teams are now moving into fresh zones to carry on the good work.

Find Wellbeing in Nature - AM Sessions
Auburn , September 24th
Although most people wouldn’t identify as a carer, more than 1 in 10 NSW residents actually are!
We’re all familiar with paid Carers, who look after people with a mental illness, disability or chronic illness on a full time basis… However, every day, people care for their family members or friends. Do you visit an elderly relative? Or support a friend through a rough emotional time? Offering someone a helping hand or a listening ear all counts as being a carer.
So whether you’re a paid carer, unpaid carer, or just provide care and support to your friends and family, we welcome you to join us to unwind and de-stress at Green Gym!
Green Gym, or Wellbeing in Nature, is a welcoming and flexible program to help you connect with others while taking care of your physical and mental health. Set beside the tranquil Auburn Botanic Gardens in the Cumberland Council Nursery, you will spend the day growing seedlings, tending to garden beds and learning about gardens and plant care.
