World Rivers Day

You’re able to celebrate World Rivers Day locally, on the 25th September, with Bulimba Creek Catchment Coordinating Committee (B4C).

B4C is currently trying to raise $2500 online to plant 400 native species to provide habitat and riparian buffer to the waterway that flows to Bulimba Creek, Brisbane River and Moreton Bay. The creek corridor is known to be home to koalas, possums and squirrel gliders.

The tree planting will be happening on World Rivers Day which is a waterways celebration held on the last Sunday in September. The International RiverFoundation is promoting World Rivers Day through its global network and has developed an Australian focused campaign to financially benefit local Australian catchment areas.

Our region has some beautiful green areas, but how much time do we spend in them and how much do we understand about them? There’s a great opportunity for us to learn about and participate in our local natural environment through the Southside Sustainability Centre.

The Sustainability Centre is a project of the not-for-profit Bulimba Creek Catchment Coordinating Committee (B4C). There’s a nursery, community gardens, native revegetation areas and plenty more.  And this weekend they are inviting you to their first open-day of 2011.

When: Feb 5, 2011 9:00am – midday.
Where: Southside Sustainability Centre, Cnr Old Cleveland Rd & Wright St, Carindale
Contact: Ph 3420 4800 / email b4c@bulimbacreek.org.au.

People of all ages and experience levels are welcome to come and see how the centre has survived the summer and recent conditions. You can also purchase seedlings and join in the volunteering activities.

I caught up with the Secretary of the Bulimba Creek Catchment Committee, Heather Barns.  Read the rest of this entry »

Bulimba Creek Catchment update

January 13, 2011 in Environment by admin | No comments

MEDIA RELEASE

A major Brisbane River flood affecting many Brisbane suburbs, has not had the same effect on some of the creek catchments, like Bulimba Creek and its low lying wetlands. “Even though every area is saturated from the La Nina events, we have been fortunate in Bulimba Creek, even suburbs like Tingalpa and Hemmant”, said Wayne Cameron, of Bulimba Creek Catchment Committee (B4C).
