The rain has been a very welcome reprieve after such a long dry spell. Although, who knows what the weather has in store for us next!

🦆 We know our backyards are full of birdlife, but have you ever stopped to count them?

The Aussie Bird Count starts today! And wherever you call home, it is a lovely opportunity to spend 20 minutes noticing the birds sharing your patch of the world.

Whether it is from the comfort of home or on a walk through your local park, every bird counts!

Taking part is easy!
🐦Register for free: https://aussiebirdcount.org.au/
🐦Download the Aussie Bird Count app or use the website.
🐦Spend 20 minutes counting the birds you see. There is even a bird finder to help identify them!

Submit your count!

You can count as many times as you like throughout the week. Every count helps build a bigger picture of Australia's birdlife.

Thank you Logan City Council for the invitation to present Forestdale at the Environmental Conservation Partnerships celebration event today at Berrinba Wetlands 🌳🦜🐝

Celebrating where you live and the creatures we co-exist with is such a beautiful conversation…and the key theme, conservation starts in your backyard 🫵

Thank you Echidna Encounters with Dr Kate and Wesley from Comfy Creatures Nest Boxes for collaborating with us on this one. Soon the remote monitored nest boxes (pictured) will start to be rolled out in Forestdale, as part of a successful LCC Envirogrant.

Great to be in the company of BirdLife Australia Wildcare Australia Inc. Oxley Creek Catchment Association Karawatha Forest Protection Society Inc Bats QLD Logan Albert Conservation Association RSPCA QLD Bee All Natural and D’Aguilar Wildlife, Gilbert the koala was just precious 🐨

Forestdale is a special place, for so many reasons, and it is a joy to share 🏡

Some of the highlights from the recent Nature Journaling event at Greenwood Lakes, Forestdale as part of the Peaks to Points Festival supported by Logan City Council.

A special mention to Kerry Warnholtz for facilitating this moment of noticing for all who participated.

🌿What a wonderful day at Greenwood Lakes as part of the Peaks to Points Festival.

A day celebrating our shared backyard through community, connection and creativity... naturally.

There really isn't much more we need to say. The album says it all. 💚

A huge thank you to the Forestdale residents and those from further afield who joined us and gave themselves a little moment to slow down, create and connect, and especially to Di and Kristy from the Logan Artists Association for sharing their creativity, encouragement and making the day such a joy.

And to our Forest 4 Forestdale team, who were there across all four Creative Connections sessions, whether helping out or joining in themselves, thank you.

One of the loveliest parts was the unexpected community spirit along the way. Locals walking past with the dog who stopped for a chat, people who wandered over to see what was happening, helped out, or even found themselves joining a session. How lucky are we! 🌿

We also gratefully acknowledge the support of the Logan City Council EnviroGrants Program and the Peaks to Points Festival, which made these Creative Connections events possible.

And perhaps the best takeaway we heard from the day?
“Let’s do this again!”
We couldn’t agree more. 🎨🌿💚
