Beyond Noisy Miners: Native Plants for Diverse Birdlife
Noisy Miners are highly social birds that thrive in urban gardens. While they are native, their aggressive territorial behaviour can exclude other bird species, reducing biodiversity.
UWG Wildlife Encounter Workshop

Frog Habitat Workshop Highlights
Our workshop this month was a productive morning as Sean Morrow, from One Earth Landscaping, coordinated the construction of a frog habitat pond at Noosa Women’s Shed with willing helpers from the Women’s Shed and UWG
Butcher Birds
Butcher birds are our beloved native Australian songbirds belonging to the Artamidae family which includes Woodswallows and Currawongs. There are three main species of butcher bird found in Australia which are the Grey Butcherbird (Cracticus torquatus), the Pied Butcherbird (Cracticus nigrogularis), and the Black Butcherbird (Melloria quoyi).
Native Stingless Bees
Everybody knows the familiar European Honeybee, introduced into our lives through childhood books and cartoons with their distinctive black and yellow pattern, buzzing bee-sound and delicious nectar known as honey which has become a global commodity. Often forgotten are our endemic friends and their role in the ecosystem.
Frog Workshop
Join UWG for the second part of our Frog Habitat Workshops.
Sean Morrow from One Earth Landscaping will be back to demonstrate how to install a pond.
