Rebuilding communities from Lennox and Evans Head to Coraki and Woodburn

In February and March 2022, our region was subject to a series of weather events that causeed one of the nation’s worst recorded flood disasters. The economic impact of a natural disaster can be felt far beyond the damage to housing and infrastructure.

Deborah Pearse, Cameron Johnson, Gemma Veriga-White and some of the students from the girls group, were excited about the delivery of the latest mural to Mullum High School. Photo Tree Faerie.

Students from Mullumbimby High School have been doing their best to get the message across that our native creatures are very precious.

Organised by Deborah Pearse from the Mullumbimby BYS Cottage, around 44 students from the girls groups have completed three murals and a series of wildlife stickers as part of the Young and Wild project. 

Two murals are installed at Global Ripple, and one is about to be mounted at Mullumbimby High. 

Wildlife plight

The art project aims to raise community awareness around the plight of our wildlife, and the many risks that cause injury and death.

Funding from Global Ripple made the project possible, as did the creative direction of Dale Shaddick, and the support of Mullum High teachers, Gemma Veriga-White (Head Teacher Welfare), and Cameron Johnson (Deputy Principal).

Donations welcome

Anyone wanting wildlife stickers or to make donations to keep the project going, please contact Deb on 0409 170 062.
