Swap your weeds for native trees
Our Weeds for Trees Days are a brilliant reason to get out into your garden.
Some of the most common garden plants can become invasive weeds, competing with native species that are crucial for providing food and shelter to our local wildlife.
When these weeds infiltrate surrounding bushland, they can adversely affect biodiversity and local wildlife corridors on Redlands Coast.
Head outside and collect a bag or bucket of weeds, and come along to meet local Bushcare Officers and volunteers who will swap your weeds for a native plant. Maximum of five plants per person.
It's great way for your to combat the spread of weeds in your local environment and receive some beautiful new plants for your garden.

There is an outbreak of fungal skin disease in reptiles on Redlands Coast.
Water and bearded dragons are most commonly affected, and the disease is usually fatal. Look for yellow discolouration of the skin as well as flakiness or loss of scales.
The fungus is highly contagious, so if you see a reptile with these signs, please do not touch them. Call the Redlands Wildlife Rescue Service on (07) 3833 4031.
You can also report any suspect cases to Biosecurity Queensland on bslwildlife@daf.qld.gov.au or phone 3708 8762.
