CWCN Annual General Meeting with guest speaker Dr Ross Wylie on fire ants - Monday, 25th March 2024
Our executive will report on CWCN activities over the last financial year, and a new executive will be elected. - Our guest speaker is Dr Ross Wylie, Science Leader, National Red Imported Fire Ant Eradication Program, Biosecurity Queensland, Dept of Agriculture and Fisheries. His presentation will focus on why Red imported fire ants are a superpest.
A recent scare at the Centre nursery (unfounded) reminded us that there is still a big issue with the spread of the invasive species and that vigilance is required. - Location: CWCN Centre, 47 Hepworth St, Chapel Hill (UBD 178 A11)
Microbat Discovery Walk
Join us for a nightly walk at the Cubberla Creek Reserve and get to know our nightly neighbours. Listen to their calls on special detection devices which can make their sound audible to human ears, and see sonagrams of them on little screens. It's all about learning about these echolocating flying mammals, about their needs, and about their ecological importance. Book in via Microbat Discovery Walk, Cubberla Creek Reserve | Humanitix. It's a free event..
CWCN Book Club Program 2024
The 11th year of CWCN's Book Club will see another year of great titles and lively discussions. The book club began in 2014 and has been going strong ever since. Two hours of great conversation, lots of food for thought, lots of provision of information, and lots of laughter while not necessarily agreeing in debate. Everyone is welcome to our sessions. Please find out more about the books to be discussed in 2024 by viewing the flyer. .
Seed Propagation at CWCN
Our CWCN nursery is a busy and social hub. There is plenty to do from collecting seeds and setting them up for germination, from pricking out to potting on, from watering to general maintenance. There are training opportunities and fun-filled working bees. Please note, we are an important part of CWCN's Bringing Back the Richmond Birdwing Butterfly to Brisbane's Inner West project. We raise the vines from seeds to ensure best success and required numbers. - If you have questions or would like to be involved please contact us.
The Great Outdoors in Brisbane's Inner West
Nothing beats working in the outdoors. It's benefitial to your mental and physical health, and can be an enjoyable time for an entire family. Weeds need to be attended to to make space for our native flora, and our wildlife movement corridors will need further repair to enhance our biodiversity. Participate in our many activities. Check out our page 'Get involved' and consider where you may want to help us restore our natural assets.
