Working together for a healthy,
connected catchment.

Hi members, volunteers and supporters,

Next Friday is our AGM. We look forward to the opportunity to catch up with many of you.

B4C Annual General Meeting | Friday 13th November, 10am
Location: Belmont Services Bowls Club, 20 Narracott St, Carina.
(Previously held at B4C at Carindale, but due to spacing requirements for COVID-safe events we have moved it to a bigger location).

Get an update on the activities of your catchment and B4C. We'll also be featuring some brief presentations on some great catchment projects and activities - such as a local client's environmental achievements and innovation, a local bushcare group and more.
Please RSVP to b4c@bulimbacreek.org.au

Join us for a butterfly adventure!

LISTEN BACK
Butterflies were a hot topic on ABC Brisbane last week. Jutta Godwin discussed the BBBC and other butterfly bits and pieces with Morning host Rebecca Levingston. Fast forward to 1:56:55 to listen to the segment here.

We encourage bushcare groups, households and Land for Wildlife properties, schools and others to do counts at their sites. There are counts with easy survey sheets as well as transects - something for everyone. Get a BBBC brochure from our office.

B4C and Powerlink Queensland working together at Minnippi Parklands

The Minnippi to Belmont Hills glider corridor is an important link for our wildlife, especially squirrel gliders.

B4C has been working with Powerlink to restore an existing glider crossing under the powerlines between two parcels of bushland at Minnippi Parklands.

So far the existing glider poles have been accessed for safety, and 12 new nest boxes have been installed on the poles to replace the broken ones.
