09.01.2022 WATER FOR WILDLIFE - WIRES has announced today a collaboration to build and distribute arboreal water stations for native wildlife. This is a direct result of r...esearch by University of Sydney that found koala use supplemented water extensively throughout the year particularly during extreme weather events. The arboreal drinkers were also visited by a large variety of other native animals. The program will see 800 TREE TROFF arboreal drinkers disbursed to fire and drought affected areas. For more information about the program, including details about how to apply, install and maintain the drinkers please visit: http://bit.ly/WaterforWildlife Thank you University of Sydney Reece Bathrooms WWF-Australia

09.01.2022 A group of 60 Year 7-11 students and staff traveled to Cape Wickham today to remove an enormous ghost net from the coastline. After a mammoth effort from everyo...ne involved, around 50% is successfully dislodged. Everyone is keen to return in the next few weeks to ensure we finish the task. What a fantastic experience for our students to be part of to care for our pristine local environment. Thank you to all staff involved and also Kath Hunter and Shelley Graham for attending and supporting this student led initiative. We will all sleep well tonight! See more
