CWCN Workshops on Fauna, Flora, Fungi
Between October 2018 and July 2019 CWCN will be celebrating local biodiversity with ten free workshops. Topics range from water bugs to mistletoes, common bushland and garden insects, fungi, bats, edible plants, owls and other avian predators, small native mammals, threatened species and habitat creation for frogs and small birds. Don't miss out and mark your calendar now! Check out the flyer flagging all events. The workshops are possible thanks to funding received from Australian Government's National Landcare Program and Brisbane City Council's Conservation Partnerships Program, and support from Queensland Water and Landcarers and The Local Bulletin.
Mistletoe Workshop - Saturday, 10th November 2018 - 9:00am to 12:00pm
Mistletoes are often maligned, yet they are of exceptional beauty and also a vital part of our ecosystems They support birds, insects and other fauna and are selective when it comes to host plants (mostly trees). There is a lot to be learnt about these plants, and a lot of myths to be dispelled. Local abundance and diversity is usually not known. - Dr John T. Moss will run this workshop and field excursion. He is the co-author of the highly acclaimed “The Mistletoes of Subtropical Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria”. John has a particular interest and love for fascinating yet poorly researched areas of local insects and plants. - More information and the registration form can be found here: Flyer_Mistletoe_Workshop.pdf
Seed Propagation at CWCN
Why not join a great group of volunteers eager to source and propagate local native plants to help with our rehabilitation work across our catchments in Brisbane's inner West. Our working bees are always fun and we achieve lots. Check the Diary of Events and come to our next meet at the CWCN Centre. If you have questions or need more information please ring or text Henry on 0430 628 325.
