Volunteering opportunities

Are you interested in revegetation projects or supporting our kids to connect with nature?

These two new programs offer further diversity and new opportunities to become involved with the Green Space Our Place program. If you are interested in volunteering for these programs contact Louisa Grandy 4032 6648.

LITTLE SPROUTS Kindy Kids Program

START DATE: Thursday 13 October

This new program will be held fortnightly on Thursdays at The Green Space, Jess Mitchell Park beginning on Thursday 13 October from 10am-noon. Bookings are essential, with registrations opening for the first program on Monday 14 September. The program aims to: • connect kindergarten aged children with growing food; • raise awareness of suitable plants for the tropics; • connect children and their carers in nature activities; • connect carers with other carers in the community.

As with the Little Taccas children’s nature activities program, we cannot deliver this without our volunteers’ support. If you enjoy making a difference in a child’s life and connecting them with nature, we would love to hear from you.

MOODY CREEK REVEGETATION

START DATE: Friday 4 November 9am-12noon. Moody Creek meanders from the Moody Creek Detention Basin at Ramsey Drive, Kanimbla, to Manoora in Rollinia Close and then through the city to Trinity Inlet. Following the works by a local Indigenous group (see next page for details), we want to add to this site with a follow up enhancement program involving revegetation, waterway clean up and litter collection. Stage One will begin in Rollinia Close, near the Manoora Community Garden with the aim to enhance the area. This will be a different revegetation project than our last project at Aeroglen (see next page). There will be shade for those hot summer days; a different soil profile with moist, sandy clay soils; with the sound of a freshwater creek in the background.

All are welcome. If you would like to join us, the first working bee will be Friday 4 November.
