Big Scrub Rainforest celebrations will take place between 23-26 November to celebrate 25 years of the Big Scrub Rainforest Day and 30 years since the formation of the Big Scrub Rainforest Conservancy.
‘This year is a special year marking a quarter of a century of bringing the community together to celebrate the work done to save the Big Scrub and its magnificent biodiversity,’ said Big Scrub Rainforest Conservancy’s President, Dr Tony Parkes.
‘For this milestone event, we’re celebrating the science behind saving threatened species, investigating the conservation dilemma of planting eucalypts in the Big Scrub footprint, and engaging the next generation with a huge multischool community planting.
‘We have over 15 events at ten different Big Scrub locations to engage the community in fun and meaningful connection with the rainforest.’
Events also include Science in the Pub at the Eltham Hotel, seed propagation workshops and guided walks in Lismore Botanic Gardens, Bodhi Tree Forest Monastery, Dorrobbee Grass Reserve, Booyong Nature Reserve, Victoria Park Nature Reserve, Bangalow Parklands and Cape Byron Distillery.
Registrations are essential to attend and, with limited numbers for many of the events, organisers recommend registering early through www.bigscrubrainforest.org.
