FEATURED NEWS
Torch up for toad patrol
We’re calling on the community to help reduce Logan’s cane toad population and protect our unique biodiversity with a coordinated effort during The Great Cane Toad Bust.
Head into your backyard or local park on Friday 23 January for a night of cane toad busting. Then, bring your catch to our pop-up drop-off at Berrinba Wetlands between 9-11am on Saturday 24 January. Experts will be on hand to answer questions, share tips on toad-proofing your home, and help you create habitats for native frogs and wildlife.
Help us protect koalas on our roads
Koala breeding season is a busy time, and roadside signage plays a vital role in keeping koalas and drivers safe. If you travel through suburbs from Greenbank to Jimboomba, Mundoolun to Waterford, or anywhere in between, we’d love your feedback!
Share your thoughts on the effectiveness of these signs and ideas for future improvements. Your input will help shape upcoming campaigns and strengthen koala conservation efforts. Feedback closes Friday 30 January.
