Self-guided walk through Bancroft’s Red Gum Reserve – World Environment Day Festival Ecent

CCCG will be hosting a self-guided walk through the Bancroft’s Red Gum Environment Reserve on Sunday 9 June from 10am – 12 noon. Come and see how the area, which was previously cattle grazing land, was progressively restored over nine years and the planting of 18,000 native seedlings of self-sustaining paperbark and banksia wallum.

The reserve is a wonderful example of ecosystem restoration through community tree planting efforts The event is one of the World Environment Day events coordinated by the Sunshine Coast Environment Council in June.

Volunteers from CCCG and Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland will be on hand to share information about the species of plants and animals now in the area. There will be a free sausage sizzle and cold drinks. You could win a family pass to Sea Life Sunshine Coast just by completing a simple questionnaire based on information at the displays.
