Pottsville is the latest in a number of north coast areas to be on the hunt for the noxious cane toad.

The Koala Beach Cane Toad Muster will be held tomorrow night (Wednesday 15 February) from 7.45pm (NSW time) to 8.45pm.

Those attending need a torch each, and will need to wear a long-sleeved shirt, long pants and covered shoes

Children must be accompanied by an adult over age 18 in order to participate.

Participants are asked to meet at the gazebo next to the lake on Sugar Glider Drive.

Matt Greenlees from the University of Sydney will give a short talk beforehand to discuss threats of the cane toad and will be available after the muster to answer questions.

The Koala Beach Cane Toad muster is an initiative of the Bush Futures Project and is supported by Tweed Shire Council and the NSW Environmental Trust.
