At our Veterans Event in Buderim Forest, it wasn’t the plan that mattered, it was what unfolded.

Birdsong.
Stillness.
Connection to nature.
Strangers becoming friends through shared stories.

What started as a simple bird-watching focused session became something more - a space to slow down, reflect, and just be, which is exactly what is needed sometimes.

Thank you to all attendees for a relaxing, thoughtful afternoon together. 🌿🐦

This free event was part of Veterans’ Health Week: Connect, Move, Nourish, Thrive and was proudly supported by the Department of Veterans’ Affairs.

Landslide remediation work continues — we're back at Kureelpa Falls Rd!

After installing coir matting and logs on the slip, our team returned to the site to tackle the next critical step — planting. We've now put 100 native trees and grasses in the ground to help stabilise the slope for the long term.

🌳 Getting the plant selection right is everything. Here, we've chosen a diversity of local native species, plants that are already thriving in this area and are well suited to the steep terrain. As their roots establish, they'll work with the slope to hold soil in place and reduce sediment from reaching the Image Flat Water Treatment Plant, benefiting the local communities of Nambour, Yandina and Coolum.

💧 This kind of on-ground work is what source protection looks like in practice — protecting raw water quality before it ever reaches Seqwater's water treatment plant, helping to keep our region's drinking water clean, safe and sustainable.

Sun, sand, and a whole lot of impact 🌊💪

Maroochy Beach Blitz #2 was another cracking day of community action delivered in partnership with and led by to help protect our coastline and marine life.

Together, we removed an incredible 32.6kgs of rubbish from Maroochydore Main Beach with all debris data then entered into the AMDI database to support source reduction efforts.

A huge thank you to all the amazing volunteers who showed up and got their hands sandy. Community-led change starts with moments like these 💙

Our Cert 1 Conservation and Ecosystem Management trainees, supported by the Skilling Queenslanders for Work program, recently took part in a collaborative morning of conservation and industry engagement, hosted by Noosa Council. 🤝🌱

Set within Ironstone Nature Refuge, trainees gained valuable insights into the site’s ecological significance, current restoration works, and long-term environmental outcomes. They also learned about koala research being undertaken within the reserve and across the Noosa Shire Council area. 🐨

Noosa Council staff and Ecollaboration's natural areas crew shared their career journeys and practical knowledge, offering trainees a clear view of potential pathways into the conservation sector.

Our crew also contributed on-ground perspectives, including progress managing priority w**ds such as Cats Claw and Lantana, and the role of strategic management planning in ecological restoration.

Even more inspiring was reconnecting with former trainees who are now working in the field, on our crews and with Council. It’s a powerful reminder of the ripple effect these opportunities create for individuals, families, and the wider community.

Thank you to Noosa Council for working together on this project and coordinating the site visit.

This training is proudly supported by the Queensland Government through Skilling Queenslanders for Work.

Our team has been hard at work on a landslide remediation project within the South Maroochy River catchment.

This property sits on steep terrain and when a landslide occurs, it doesn't just affect the land. Unstabilised slopes produce sediment that can find its way into waterways and, ultimately, into the water supply dams that serve our region's communities.

The first stage on this project was:
🌳 Clearing and treating invasive w**ds and grasses that had taken hold across the landslide area
🌳 Installing coir matting and logs to stabilise the slope and slow water runoff
👉 Next up: planting. Stay tuned for our next update

💧 Protecting water at the source is the vital first step in delivering clean, safe drinking water to 3.8 million South East Queenslanders. This is what source protection looks like on the ground.

ECOllaboration is branching out, with a unique new community event designed to help people build healthy, resilient minds to cope with the stressors of daily life through nature-based mindfulness strategies. 🌿💚

The morning will include walks and workshops on grounding and meditative techniques, plus nature illustration, journalling and painting, all whilst taking in the spectacular scenery of the Buderim Forest Park & Falls.

There will also be a picnic with short talks on how to get involved in the conservation community, and a take home goodie bag to help you continue your mindfulness journey. 🎨🧘‍♀️🧁

We will be working with an amazing range of Project Partners including (Dularcha National Park Group) and Petra Meer Axton.

This event is part of ECOllaboration's realigned ESG strategy, which includes helping our region combat growing rates of stress, anxiety and depression through connecting with nature. Our goals is that events such as this will promote protective coping strategies, social inclusivity and community cohesion through environmental custodianship - delivering positive outcomes for both people and planet.
