Join us in Lower Beechmont to learn from experts in the field on Madeira vine impact, identification, and treatment. Madeira Vine (Andredera cordifolia) is an invasive transformer weed that blankets and smothers native species. It is a prolific weed that transforms landscapes and is considered one of Australia’s worst environmental invasive plants - listed as a Weed of National Significance. Watergum has been working in the Nerang River Catchment to control and remove the Madiera Vine from private properties since 2021. The program, funded by Seqwater, has successfully targeted over 58 hectares of infested area. The success of the program has led to recent expansion into Lower Beechmont, where initial treatment is now underway. Watergum Community is partnering with the City of Gold Coast's Land for Wildlife team and restoration specialists, NV Environmental, to deliver an informative workshop on Madeira Vine - covering impact, identification, and treatment. This workshop is aimed towards landholders in Lower Beechmont that are looking for professional advice on identification and treatment of the invasive weed. Attendees will learn the importance of early treatment, how to identify the weed, and effective treatment methods.
Waterbug Sampling – Currumbin
Waterbug Sampling – Hideaway Rd. Join us for a waterbug sampling activity to learn how to collect and identify different species. The data collected is nationally recognized and shared with local councils to provide up-to-date information about the health of our waterways.
Start your morning with movement, connection, and community. Join us for a free Yoga class suitable for all levels (ages 13+), followed by a relaxed beach clean-up. A great way to connect with others while giving back to the community.
Join the City of Gold Coast and Tarrabora Bushcare Group for tree planting and environmental restoration at Toolona Park, Tugun—help protect local ecosystems. A City officer will be on-site, with all materials supplied and holes pre-dug.
Learn how to assess the health of our waterways by sampling and collecting data on waterbug species. This activity is suitable for both children and adults of all ages. You will learn how to collect waterbug samples correctly before collecting and identifying the different species. The data collected is nationally recognised and is shared with our local councils to provide up-to-date information about the health of our waterways.
Join Ocean Connect in the search for sea slugs and nudibranch in the rocky shores in Burleigh. Record and identify the sea slugs inhabiting the rocky shore habitat in Burleigh to assist in mapping the diversity of the area and creating a species list for the Burleigh Heads Rocky Shores. This workshop is suitable for adults and children supervised by their parents.
Join Ocean Connects Marine Biologists for some citizen science to monitor the health of Gold Coast's seagrass meadows. Join our Ocean Connect marine science team on their fortnightly seagrass survey to actively monitor the status and trends in seagrass conditions around the Gold Coast. This event will be held at the South Stradbroke site, accessible via boat. Seagrasses are a habitat forming species and they play a critical role in the equilibrium of coastal ecosystems. They provide many key ecosystem services, such as providing a nursery and habitat for animals, preventing coastal erosion and sequestering a large amount of carbon dioxide. 7 species occur in the Gold Coast region and cover an estimated 22% of the Broadwater. It is crucial to monitor these change in order to be able to mitigate widespread loss. Ultimately by protecting the seagrass meadows the wider Gold Coast community will indirectly benefit from the sustained water quality in the Gold Coast Broadwater and surrounding region, ultimately, enhancing recreational fishing, marine tourism and providing the right framework for future generations to enjoy.
