Good day for it 😎 Archerfield Wetland's latest and greatest bushcare group, the Wetland Warriors, planted a literal boot load of native plants during the .

The group meets the first Friday of every month between 8am-10am if you're keen for some fun in the sun (and/or sometimes light rain, but mostly sun).

Did you make a bee hotel at the Rewilding Moorooka field day? We'd love to see it installed! The best spot is somewhere stationary- either mounted to a fence or a stake in the garden.

Bee hotels are a great way to provide nesting habitat for solitary native bees, particularly in places where natural nesting sites are limited.

This prime bee real estate was a collaboration between Anthony at the Men's Shed, us here at OCCA, and .

Tag us in your bee hotel pics! 🐝

🌙 Spotlighting is one way scientists survey for nocturnal animals - but at this Park After Dark event - the yellow-bellied gliders were making themselves known with their loud vocalisations before we'd even got the torches out! 🔦

Thanks to Logan City Council for funding and coming along to this event! Watch this space for future spotlighting events! 🐨

At CreekLab, our citizen scientists tested water chemistry, looked at habitat and surveyed for macroinvertebrates to get a snapshot of wetland health 😎

Brisbane Sustainability Agency and OCCA are working to restore the wetlands so capturing these snapshots over time is important for tracking change, measuring progress and guiding future management 🦋

The competition was fierce, beers frosty and the trivia eco-tastic. Team ‘You’re wrong, Pilly” won top spot 🏆 in a tense tiebreaker with Team ‘Yep, Nah’. But at the end of the day, aren’t all teams digging in for the environment winners? 🙌💚 Big round of applause for Helios Brewing who put us up and supplied the social fuel 🍻 for a Captain Planet sing-a-long. Thanks all!

During the Peaks to Points Festival we partnered with Ocean Crusaders for a Hardcore Clean and Paddle Against Plastic on Oxley Creek. Over 1 weekend, volunteers removed over 900kg of rubbish from our waterway.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along, got muddy and helped clean up Oxley Creek.

It’s amazing to see what we can achieve when the community comes together.

These events were supported by grant funding from Brisbane City Council.

Who left the Rewilding Moorooka event feeling inspired? 🌸💚
One of the big take-home messages for us is that there are so many ways to make a difference for the environment. You don’t have to work in conservation or dedicate your career to it - you can start with the things you already love.
Wildlife photography, citizen science, planting native plants, putting up a nest box or bee hotel, 🐝 supporting green spaces or even thinking about the coffee you buy (thanks Renegade Roasters and Bean on the Green Cafe Moorooka). There’s a place for everyone in conservation ☕️.
Our speaker line-up certainly got the green juices flowing. We heard from Tasman about birding, Brad Lambert from Toohey Forest Wildlife, Wesley Nielsen from Comfy Creatures, Cr. Steve Griffiths from Rewilding Moorooka, Fred and Denise from Rotate and Martin from Geckoes Wildlife who had the next gen falling for local wildlife of all shapes and scales, fur and feathers.
And we couldn’t have pulled it off without Kirstin from Rewilding Moorooka, Perrin and Tanya from Lilly-Lee Gallery & Studios, Anthony from the Oxley Men’s Shed and Sasha from Community Bank Acacia Ridge.

A big shout out to Community Bank Acacia Ridge for supporting this event and Cr Steve Griffiths - Moorooka Ward Councillor!!

Thanks to everyone who came along to make it such a fun morning! ☀️
