🌳 Twelve months on, and the plantings at Graceville Riverside Park are taking hold!

Last year, in collaboration with Greening Australia , we revegetated a section of riverbank that was at risk of eroding, and while these young natives still have some growing to do, their root systems are already getting to work below the surface.

Erosion isn’t just an eyesore. Left unchecked, it strips away habitat, sends sediment into waterways where it smothers mangroves and aquatic life, and can undermine paths, infrastructure and public safety along the water’s edge.

Healthy root systems are one of the best defences we have, holding the bank together and slowing the erosion process at its source.

Every sapling counts towards stabilising this bank, protecting the mangroves nearby, and building towards a greener, healthier space for locals to enjoy along the river in the years ahead. 🌿

Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen! 💚

🐸 Frog surveys are coming up fast!

National Frog ID Week runs 6th to 15th November, and there’s no better way to celebrate than getting out after dark with our frog spotting team.

We will look for frogs, listen for their calls and learn how to ID them.

It’s a great family friendly event, and your observations will be a valuable contribution to national conservation databases.

We have three surveys coming up:

🗓️ Thursday 12th November at Mooloolah Frog Ponds, Sippy Downs

🗓️ Wednesday 25th November at Fairhill Adventure Gardens in Ninderry - (optional snack pack available on the night - see below for more info)

🌱🐨 600 trees in the ground for koalas! 🐨🌱

On Saturday 26th September, over 25 amazing volunteers rolled up their sleeves and helped us plant 600 trees as part of our Linking Land for Koalas project.

Every one of these trees will help reconnect habitat so koalas can move safely across the landscape.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along and dug in, and to our wonderful host Deb for the delicious morning tea afterwards. It was the perfect way to finish a fantastic morning!

Now our young trees need a little love 💚

Join us for our Community Maintenance Day on Friday 13th November, where we’ll be watering, w**ding and checking tree guards to give these seedlings the best start in life.

Our current cohort of SQW trainees have been lucky enough to visit the Yandina Community Gardens to learn about core permaculture principles and to assist with w**d management.

After a wonderful presentation on the history of permaculture and getting a taste of some Cape Gooseberry (that was grown in their garden), the trainees assisted other volunteers with removing invasive plant species such as Glycine vine and Calissia repens (Creeping Inch Plant) that were suffocating other plants in the garden.

This was a great opportunity for the trainees to engage with our local community in Yandina and learn about sustainable food production practices.

A special thank you to Eta and all the volunteers at Yandina Community Gardens for hosting the trainees, and for sharing your knowledge and experiences with them!

💧 Water connects us
🌿 To our local creeks and rivers
🦋 To the plants and animals that depend on them
🏘️ To communities downstream that rely on safe, reliable drinking water

As storm season rolls in, what happens on the land flows into our waterways.

Across the South Maroochy River catchment, local landholders are working with Ecollaboration and Seqwater through the South Maroochy Rivercare program to keep banks stable, reduce runoff and protect the drinking water supply for Nambour, Bli Bli and surrounding towns.

From source to tap, water connects everything.

📩 Want to be part of it? Email [email protected] to find out more about the South Maroochy Rivercare program.

🐸 Calling all frog fans!

Join in the froggy fun with our November / December community frog surveys, as we head into National Frog ID week, which runs from the 6th - 15th of November!

As the humidity climbs and rainfall increases, our local frogs become more active, with males being easier to find due to their loud calls at night to attract breeding females.

Join our ecologists after dark to spot frogs, listen for their calls and learn how to ID them. You’ll discover which species live in your area and where they like to hang out.

This season you can also purchase our new Adopt-A-Frog pack with your tickets, which includes a comprehensive book on the types of frogs you might see on your survey, written by Mike Donovan (who also took these incredible photos!)

If you are joining us for our Fairhill Adventure Gardens survey there will also be a pre-survey frog presentation and tasty treats available to buy from the cafe.

We have just three surveys left in 2026 so get in quick to register via the link - https://ecollaboration.org.au/event/community-frog-surveys-various-sites-days

🗓️ Thursday 12th November at Mooloolah Frog Ponds, Claymore Road, Sippy Downs

🗓️ Wednesday 25th November at Fairhill Adventure Gardens in Ninderry
(Includes a frog presentation and option to purchase food and drinks at this event)

🗓️ Wednesday 9th December at Maleny

💧 Happy National Water Week!

What better way to celebrate than 15 years of citizen science, now brought to life in one incredible map!

For decades our dedicated water monitoring volunteers have been getting out into the community, testing over 50 rivers and creeks across the Sunshine Coast, from Petrie Creek and Paynter’s Creek to Stumer’s Creek, Eudlo Creek, Cornmeal Creek, the Maroochy River and beyond.

In fact, our water monitoring program is one of the longest running citizen science projects in Queensland! 🌊

Using specialised water-testing equipment (Horiba U-52 multi probe analysers), our volunteers regularly measure water quality indicators such as water clarity, oxygen levels and salt content across the catchment.

Now, after 18 months of hard work and consultation, our Community Engagement Coordinator Trevor and water monitoring volunteer Don Cameron have turned 15 years of this data into a stunning interactive map. 🗺️

This National Water Week, we invite you to explore the map and see how healthy water starts with local waterways, and the people who care for them. We hope this visualisation helps people understand the seasonal fluctuations our creeks go through, and sparks conversations about where site specific conservation efforts could make the biggest difference.
