Working together for a healthy,
connected catchment.
Dear friends,
Help stop destruction and wildlife displacement
in nature reserves.
Submissions due by midnight this Sunday 28th February
Brisbane's nature reserves need your support so that they remain protected for wildlife, biodiversity and for the community to enjoy now and into the future.
Thanks to everyone who has been standing up for Brisbane's reserves.
Ensure you have your say on the BCC Draft Brisbane Off-Road Cycling Strategy. It's on the wrong track!
Please help protect your local environment by:
1) Signing the petition
(you will be sent a confirmation link afterwards that you must click to make it valid)
and
2) Making a submissionto council by 28th February 2021. Need help? Just reply to this email and let us know.
Concerns about the draft strategy, include:
No proof of assessing increased environmental impacts of off-road cycling
Erosion assessment or core habitat mapping has not been undertaken
No reserves have been marked as prohibited
Does not commit to eliminate illegal and damaging off-road track construction
Fails to provide increased enforcement for illegal uses
It does not protect the primary purpose of conservation reserves and other vital green space assets.
You can catch us at the Brisbane Home Show this Friday to Sunday! We're joining our waterwise partners Urban Utilities at their stand and will be delivering some presentations. Look out for our stall and ask about ways to be waterwise and check out waterwise plants on display! Tickets are free via the above link.

Clean Up Australia Day
Clean up Australia Day is coming up on Sunday 7th March!
An interactive workshop and a great opportunity to see outcomes of previous revegetation works and how this has impacted this environment. Works include the removal of Lantana, most of which will be manually removed.
We will meet at the parking area at the end of Mt Elliott Rd. From there you will be shuttled, as only 4WD vehicles can access the site. Time: 8.15am at carpark at end of Mt Elliott Rd. Works begin at 8:30am.
The afternoon will be spent exploring the beautiful nature refuge property, before relaxing at the camp site for those that decide to stay for the weekend, or part thereof.
Lunch is provided for all volunteers who join for the day. Come for the day or the weekend. Dinner, breakfast and accommodation also provided. If you want to be a part of it let us know asap via b4c@bulimbacreek.org.au and we can discuss ride sharing options. Please let us know if you have any allergies or are a vegetarian.
