GARDEN EXPO JULY 2021

 JULY – NAMBOUR GARDEN EXPO – 09 / 10 / 11

Volunteers required! Please contact Robyn Combes if interested.

Each year our Sunshine Coast branch runs an information stand at the Nambour Garden Expo on behalf of Birdlife Australia. We are positioned with other 'like-minded' groups that together promote the appreciation and understanding of our wonderful fauna. Obviously we would like to encourage people to understand and value birds, learn about them, consider ways to assist in their conservation and, perhaps, become bird watchers and join Birdlife Australia. 

To assist in this plan we need some people who are willing to talk the bird talk for a couple of hours on one of the dates above. 

We will be running a Beginning Bird Walk, BBW,[on the following weekend - 17 July] which we hope will be attended by some of the Expo visitors. If you do volunteer please remember to give this free walk a plug!

Great thanks to Robyn Combes who has organised this event each year for the past several. Thanks, in advance, for any and all of our volunteers. And, finally, thanks to Vince Lee, John Kooistra and Russel MacGregor, for agreeing to help run the Bird Walk.
