Another fantastic Bug Watch night at Treeforce Cairns, starring Matt Connors, Dr David Rentz and I naturalist. Lots of interesting citizen science records uploaded to I naturalist. And we learned about eye shine positioning in spotlighting! A couple of lucky people even located some of the striped possums living in this corridor. Great night of science and Pizza party, thanks to the 30 people who came along to celebrate ❤️

Thanks Matt Tinus for organising

What a lovely Sunday morning we had hosting a Clean Up Australia day and our AGM 🌞

We collected, weighed and sorted 60kgs of rubbish, to enter into the Tangaroa Blue Australian Marine Debris Database app, and found all sorts of interesting stuff amongst the trees around Freshwater Creek 🚮

We also celebrated all we have achieved this last year and hosted our Annual General Meeting. Our amazing Volunteer Treasurer Jacqui, who has been volunteering with Treeforce for over 20 years, is finally hanging up her hat to enjoy retirement and an extended European holiday 🎉✈️

We thank you so very much Jacqui, for your amazing dedication and service over this time, we hope you have the very best, well deserved vacation 🙏💚

Thanks also to Cairns Regional Council Eco Events Cairns for supporting our clean up day 🌱

Another great day at Cairns Council’s ! As always we ran a potting up activity to educate kids about the need to actively regenerate sites. And to connect visitors to the great revegetation groups in their region.

Coordinator Sarah made lots of screen printed shirts with our revegetation and nature science designs! They were very popular, and lots of people took up the option for a membership as well.

Another joyous event at Ecofiesta cairns 2026!

Vandalism on Freshwater creek part 5!

Over recent years, young vandals have arson attacked sites, ripped up trees, and thrown whole plantings in Freshwater creek.

In today’s vandalism event, over 100 trees ripped out by kids and tossed around for no reason. Fortunately a friend of Treeforce beeped and called the police for us. We were on site 5 minutes later, but the kids were gone.

Witnesses say today’s attack was a small group of kids, early high school age just before 4pm Sunday afternoon. Probably headed West in direction of Redlynch. Anyone know their kids were at devils leap around this time? They did several hundreds of dollars damage in just a few minutes!

Our recreational rainforest park areas like Goomboora, Glenoma and Devils Leap have been created by Treeforce and Cairns Regional Council over the last 30 years as a community resource. Attacking these is attacking the very areas that sustain you.

If you see vandals, please call them out, or beep your car horn and call the police for us. Film the kids responsible, and let Treeforce know on messenger ASAP.

These trees were put in by the community, and will cost hundreds of dollars to replant and replace. Treeforce are building a community resource for future generations! Don’t wreck it, it’s the same process that gave you the rainforest parks and cycleways of Redlynch
