This Monday 21st of September come join us at Westgate Park, where Kai Lane Eco Warriors Aus will be returning to run three of his super successful, super fun Yedabila Habitat Pod workshops! These sessions are ideal for families, but numbers are limited so get in quick 😉

Kai will teach us how to construct the pods using branches of Tangled Lignum (Duma florulenta), a favoured plant of the Super Fairy-wren, which provides protection from predators and offers these sweet little birds a safe space to rear their chicks.

The workshops will run at the following times:
10:00 - 11:00
11:30 - 12:30
1:30 - 2:30

Visit the link in our bio or scan the QR code to view each event

Thank you Kai for all the great work you are doing! The Fairy-wrens certainly appreciate all the extra support 🫶

Amazing turnout last weekend for our Yedabila habitat workshop with Eco Warriors Aus

We got a collection of about two dozen species in the ground to improve the lakeside habitat for our resident Eastern Longkneck Turtles, and Kai taught us how to weave habitat pods using Tangled Lignum (Duma florulenta) for the hatchlings to shelter under during the spring.
