Roll your sleeves up to help the honey blue-eye and the Oxleyan pygmy perch.
Murdering Creek is home to the honey blue-eye fish and Oxleyan pygmy perch which are important, native, small bodied (and very cute) threatened species. Unfortunately, their habitat was severely degraded by the devastating bushfires that tore through the area in 2019.
Riparian weeds are choking the banks at Murdering Creek which negatively impacts the habitat and riparian food sources for these special fish. That’s why OzFish Noosa have partnered with Noosa District Landcare to restore this key fish habitat and we’d love for you to join us.
Our last event saw the successful removal of more Singapore Daisy and our dedicated volunteers planted close to 300 trees, shrubs and grasses! We have another 300 to finish off the restoration works and breathe some life into this important ecosystem.
This will take place between 9.00am-12.00pm on Saturday 30th Oct. Meeting at the intersection of Murdering Creek & Woodland Drive.
Please wear appropriate footwear e.g. sturdy boots/gumboots, sunsmart clothing, sunscreen, insect repellent and bring plenty of drinking water.
Our local OzFish Noosa chapter will also be holding a BBQ lunch for all helpers on the day.
