Winter Film Night - THIS Wednesday 26th August

Dark Skies short films

Our next Winter activity - where this time you get to be warm and cosy - is our annual film night.
It seems appropriate on a Winter's night to be contemplating the long hours of darkness. But it’s not as dark as we might think!
Our birds and nocturnal animals experience the night differently now, compared to their previous generations, just a few decades ago.
These films, presented by guest speaker Kelly Clitheroe, will explore the impacts of this change, and invite us to think about how we might help.
Doors open 6.30 for a cuppa, films start 7pm. Gold coin donation appreciated.

Please register your attendance for catering purposes.

World Environment Day planting:
22 enthusiastic volunteers were greeted by a lovely sunny morning at RAAFs on Sunday.
With guidance and assistance from Barwon Coast staff, Bailey and Greg, 200 indigenous grasses were planted along the dune and roped off.
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and made the morning such a success.
In time, our hope is that we can return our dunes to their natural state, providing suitable habitat for our wildlife and a resilient coast for all!

We are weeding Terracina Spurge at Bukareyoo THIS Sunday!!

We'll be back at it again on Sunday 24th May and we'd love you to join us!

Unfortunately this plant has a significantly irritant sap which means this weeding is not a suitable activity for children, but our underage coastcarers would be welcome to come along and with their adult guardians and collect rubbish from this beautiful piece of coast. Rubbish removal is very important for regeneration as well!

Date: Sunday 24th May
Time: 10am - 12pm
Place: BUK110 (previously known as 20W) - last car park before the BH bridge (look out for our sign!)
Bring: We will provide gloves and tools but feel free to bring your own along
