World Environment Day 2023 – Platypus Conservation Walk

Saturday 10/06/2023

Come and join us at 7am on Saturday June 10 in beautiful Petrie Creek, Nambour for ECOllaboration’s “Platypus Conservation Walk”.

The morning will begin with a short talk on local platypus hotspots and spotting techniques before trying our luck at finding a platypus at our most reliable known site in Nambour. We will then go on a short walk (500m) through Petrie Creek collecting rubbish on the way to planting (approximately 5 plants per participant) along the banks to stabilise the creek from erosion and preserve platypus habitat.

The event will finish with a complimentary coffee on behalf of ECOllaboration 🙌☕

Schedule:
7am Platypus viewing
7:30am Riparian walk & rubbish collection
8:00am Revegetation/planting activity
8:30am Coffee
