Go Green for June

Get ready, because Logan is going green for June - we're super excited to introduce ECO Logan!

Throughout June, we'll be sharing some awesome 'random acts of green' that you can do at home or while out in nature. It's all about making a positive impact on our environment, one step at a time!

Make sure to mark your calendar because at the end of May we'll be releasing the official activity calendar online, so watch this space. 

Koala-lity teacher resources

Are you a teacher looking to inspire students to form a deeper connection with koalas and their natural habitats?

The Department of Environment, Science and Innovation has developed free teacher packs to help educators on their koala education journey. These packs can be used in any bushland or why not visit Daisy Hill Koala Centre.

Leap into Frogs Habitat Workshop - 4 May 

Join us for this hands-on workshop to learn all about our native frogs and what you can do to help them in your garden!

This workshop, that both kids and adults will thoroughly enjoy, includes an introductory presentation that will help you to identify your hopping friends and learn all about their specific needs. You’ll also be guided through how to make a frog hotel for your own outdoor space!

Registrations required for all attendees - spaces are limited.

Nest box Building Workshop - 18 May

Although most of us live in urban environments, we share those spaces with lots of native wildlife!

This workshop will provide up to 20 families with the wood to construct your own nest box that you can then put up at home in your garden. You will be guided in how to build your nestbox and how to select a suitable location for it where it will be suitable for native wildlife.

Registrations required for all attendees - spaces are limited.
