NICA volunteers on Thursday went to extra lengths to recover tyres, bikes and trolleys from our waterways!
It is such rewarding and positive work they do. NICA is not for profit, yet we have running costs for our boat the Osprey, would you consider joining $20 a year or $35 for a couple. Joining doesn’t mean you have to volunteer but there are social gatherings , bird counts, w**ding excursions on the sand islands in the Noosa River throughout the year that you would be welcome to join.
