Help revitalise the catchment by joining our Creekcare Program. The volunteer CreekCare Team goes out each week to local Bushcare sites and performs on ground works such as weed control, plantings and site maintenance. It's a fun and rewarding way to spend a morning. Read on to view the sites for this month.

Our bi-monthly meetings are a great way to catch up on what we've been doing in the catchment. This month's meeting will  feature a special presentation by Professor Darryl Jones:

Roads and biodiversity: Light at the end of the tunnel?

One all too obvious symptom of the burgeoning population growth of South-east Queensland is the ever increasing number of cars and the continual expansion of the road network to accommodate them. This infrastructure is a major cause of direct wildlife mortality (road-kill) but even more important is the on-going fragmentation and degradation of bushland areas, leading to animals becoming isolated in smaller remnants, greatly increasing the possibility of local extinction.
