N4C aims to protect and enhance the ecosystem in Brisbane's Norman Creek Catchment.

Bushcare groups, a native nursery and ecological monitoring all help improve our waterways. We also share knowledge, expertise and experience on how to look after our waterways. N4C partner with Brisbane City Council, local schools, community groups and businesses. If you have a keen interest in helping to keep the environment healthy contact us and get involved.

Thanks to the great volunteers at Kulpurum Reserve, Norman Park! This small but dedicated group is removing w**ds to let the wonderful native saltmarsh plants thrive. I bet there are some good chats too!

Proudly supported by Brisbane City Council.

Have you got this w**d in your yard? It's taking over Brisbane, especially in lawns and between groundcover plants beside creeks.

Now named Dyschoriste nagchana, but whatever you call it, it's a bit of a menace. If it has small pointed seed capsules up and down the stems, make sure to dispose of it wisely.

Much was achieved at the Mt Gravatt Pollinator Link Garden on Sunday!

3.5 hours were spent w**ding mulching and planting and educating.

Weeds were pulled from about 50 square meters. 40 native pollinator link plantsfrom the N4C nursery were put in.

Weeds were mulched on site (without seeds). Succulent w**ds like mother of million were put in the green bin of a local resident. Some were also given as chicken food to the local chicken friends.

Watering was done then tea and cake were enjoyed.

Wildlife reporting - 4 Bird Familes nesting:
1. frogmouth ( in the tall old Ironbark ),
2. a pair of plovers on the bottom Oval with four baby chicks,
3. a pair of Kookaburras in the termite nest ( in another old tall iron bark that has been their nest for seven years in a row now,
4. a pair of Bush Stone Curlews.

Various invertebrates and butterflies also seen.

Thanks to all!

Excellent result at Balis St Park yesterday! A good-sized team managed to shift most of a large pile of mulch to reduce w**d regrowth; the area will be planted when rains start again.

Thanks to all the volunteers!

This project is proudly supported by Brisbane City Council.

Really good compost ready for the taking at 66 baron st Greenslopes. Grab a bag or if they are all gone take some from the finished bin.

Thanks to our fantastic volunteers at Roseglen St who shifted 10 cubic metres of mulch on a warm morning to help reduce w**d pressure on our main planting area.

This spot between the gate and the planting had a lot of Coral berry, w**d tree seedlings, Dyschoriste and other w**ds, so having it mulched will reduce the amount of herbicide we need to spray.

We will be planting some tall native shrubs to give the neighbours a bit of shade which they are keen on.

It was a great working bee this morning at Rome St! We watered native grasses, removed w**dy vines and started brushcutting the guinea grass between native trees.

The kangaroo grass and scented top are doing very well considering the dry conditions and the very small size of the kangaroo grass when it went in.

This project is proudly supported by Brisbane City Council.

It was a great day on Saturday at Glindemann Park for the Community Planting Day! Misty rain did not deter our N4C volunteers and members of the community, making a team of 65 to put in 650 plants - so it was short work despite the skills required to plant in jute netting.

After the planting, bushcare group leader Tom took everyone on a tour of the wider site and then there was a sausage sizzle and a wonderful wildlife show by Gecko's Wildlife.

Welcome, new volunteers! Hope to see you again soon at Glindemann Park or elsewhere in the catchment.

Thanks to Councillor Krista Adams for her generous support of this event. Thank you to our Creek Catchment Officer Michael and to our fantastic N4C volunteers helping make the event happen!
