Our second Community workshop in partnership with Noosa Council was held at the J this month.
The two sessions were fully booked and the residents who turned up were enthusiastic and keen to find out how to turn their coastal gardens into havens for native wildlife.
Here in Southeast Queensland, we are lucky to have a region of diverse habitats which support hundreds of species of moths and butterflies both of which belong to the order of Lepidoptera, meaning ‘scaled wings’. Lepidoptera is one of the largest insect orders in the world with at least 160,000 species worldwide.
Come along to The J in Noosa Head on Saturday 21 March to learn how to attract wildlife to your coastal garden from the NICA Urban Wildlife Gardens experts.
Over the last few months I’ve come across some interesting creatures in my garden so thought I’d share a few with you.
At our UWG November Workshop, Noosa Council Officer Dave O’Gorman presented the Noosa Threatened Fauna Recovery Road Map. This Road Map was developed to facilitate and guide the on-going management and recovery of threatened fauna across the Noosa Shire and our adjacent coastal waters.
Living in Lake MacDonald, I wanted to have a balanced and harmonious garden, with local native plants that thrived in their natural environment while also providing food and shelter for native species. Some native plants also provide food I can eat.
