Preparation Cicada Park Stage 3 - Urban Rivers and Catchments Program project
Healthy ecosystems are the backbone of thriving communities and what was once an overlooked urban waterway is now transforming into a vibrant ecological corridor. Join us on a journey that shows the story and update on works at the Cicada Park site in Chapel Hill.
If you live, work, or play in Gympie, Noosa, the Fraser Coast, or the Sunshine Coast, you can sign up to be part of the Find a Frog in February program!
The Mary River Catchment Coordinating Committee (MRCCC) is entering its ninth year of collecting valuable data to monitor frog populations. They’re calling on citizen scientists or ‘froggers’ to observe and report frogs in your area, helping to keep these important creatures safe and healthy.
A new study estimates that more than 9000 insects and other native invertebrates have become extinct in Australia since European arrival in 1788 and between 1–3 additional species become extinct every week.
Invertebrates include species such as worms, snails and spiders, and many more play a crucial role in the environment – such as pollinators and earthworms, which are important for maintaining soil health.
The 2025 General Jeffery Soil Health Award is now open for nominations. One lucky recipient will be awarded a $20,000 prize for their contributions to soil health.
The Award winner will receive $20,000 (ex GST) in funding to complete an agreed soils project as well as a travel package to attend the 2025 National Landcare Awards gala dinner.
If you manage a farm in Southern Downs, Western Downs, Toowoomba, Goondiwindi, Lockyer Valley or the Scenic Rim and want to reduce your energy spend and carbon footprint, a new energy efficient program, EnergySQ, has been developed for you.
Disaster resilience is more important than ever for South East Queensland (SEQ), which is Australia’s most climate-exposed region,
Hot on the heels of the past decade which has seen devastating drought, flooding and bushfires, and with the frequency and intensity of these climate-driven events expected to increase over time, Healthy Land & Water has proactively developed the Biodiversity and Agricultural Capital Assets Emergency Preparedness & Response Plan to strengthen SEQ’s disaster resilience and recovery.
This plan documents ways to reduce the impacts of these catastrophic events and protect SEQ’s vital natural capital assets.
In December last year, Healthy Land & Water team members, Indigo, Gabriela, Natalie (pictured) and Samantha attended the 2024 Ecological Society of Australia (ESA) conference.
The four-day event held in Melbourne brought together ecologists and practitioners from across the country to hear from leaders in their field, attend workshops and network with their peers.
After the event wrapped up, Indigo shared her on-ground conference highlights with us.
