🚬🌊 Keep your butts off the ground and out of our waterways!

Our Project Officers are out at Stockland Rockhampton today, handing out pocket ashtrays and having a yarn with the community about preventing cigarette butts from ending up in our waterways.

Cigarette butts are one of the most commonly littered items, and when they’re dropped on the ground they can make their way into stormwater drains, creeks and eventually our waterways. 🌿💧

A pocket ashtray is a simple way to keep your butt with you until you find a bin. Small actions like this can make a big difference to the health of our local environment.

We’ve also got one of our Skilling Queenslanders for Work trainees joining us today! 🌱👷‍♀️

Interested in getting into conservation and working outdoors while gaining skills and experience?

We have paid Conservation traineeship opportunities available! 🙌

Come down and have a chat with our team if you’d like to find out more about what’s involved and how you can get started.

Keep our streets clean. Keep our waterways healthy. Build your future in conservation. 💚

📸 What a fantastic day at the Barrage Open Day!

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by the Capricornia Catchments stall to chat with us, learn more about our local waterways, and take part in our activities.

Throughout the day, we shared information about recycling, litter prevention, and the impacts cigarette butts have on our environment. Visitors also enjoyed testing their knowledge and luck in our competitions.

Congratulations to Pearl, who correctly guessed the number of cigarette butts collected in our display jar and has won a YETI bottle!

We also received some fantastic entries in our "Name the Croc" competition. After plenty of creative suggestions, we're excited to announce that the Capricornia Catchments crocodile mascot is now officially named Roy! 🐊

Roy had a great time exploring the event and meeting members of the community, and we'll be sharing some of his adventures from the day in the photos below.

A big thank you to Rockhampton Regional Council for hosting another outstanding Barrage Open Day and providing an opportunity for local organisations to connect with the community. Events like these are a wonderful way to celebrate our region, and inspire environmental stewardship.

Thank you again to everyone who visited our stall, entered our competitions, and took the time to learn more about protecting our environment. We look forward to seeing you at future events!

🎓 Congratulations to our Skilling Queenslanders for Work graduates! 🎓

On Friday, we had the privilege of celebrating the achievements of an incredible group of trainees who have worked hard, shown determination, and reached an important milestone in their journey.

This graduation is a reflection of their commitment and perseverance, and we are so proud of everything they have accomplished. We also extend our congratulations to the trainees who continue their journey with us and are building valuable skills and experience for the future.

A heartfelt thank you to the Queensland Government and Livingstone Shire Council for supporting the Skilling Queenslanders for Work program and helping create opportunities for local people to learn, grow and succeed.

We were honoured to be joined by MP Donna Kirkland and Mayor Adam Belot, who helped us celebrate this special occasion alongside the families and friends whose encouragement and support have been so important throughout our trainees' journeys.

Special thanks to Native Plants Capricornia for gifting each graduate a Livistona decora plant to take home and continue nurturing, a wonderful reminder of the growth and potential they have demonstrated throughout the program.

Thank you also to Meg from Creative Cakes for the donation of the beautiful graduation cake that helped make the day even more memorable.

Congratulations again to all our graduates and trainees. We can't wait to see what you achieve next! 🌱✨

38.7kg of litter removed from Col Austin Park and Moores Creek! 🙌🌿

A huge thank you to everyone who joined Capricornia Catchments at our recent community clean-up at Col Austin Park.

Together, we collected an incredible 38.7kg of litter, helping to prevent rubbish from entering Moores Creek, our waterways and ultimately the coast. Every piece removed makes a difference for local wildlife, water quality and the health of our catchments.

It was fantastic to see community members come together, roll up their sleeves and take action for a cleaner, healthier environment. The impact of a few hours of teamwork was clear, with a significant amount of litter removed from the park and surrounding creek area.

💚 Our Park. Our Creek. Our Community.

Thank you to everyone who volunteered their time and energy to make this clean-up a success. Your efforts are helping to create cleaner public spaces and healthier waterways for everyone to enjoy.

This project is proudly funded by the Queensland Government's Sustainability Action Grants program and delivered with support from Rockhampton Regional Council.

Please help us celebrate our amazing volunteers by liking and sharing this post!
