GUIDED WALK: CONSERVING OUR UNIQUE AUSTRALIAN BUSH
Saturday 5 June at 10.00am to 11.30am
Meet at the entrance to the Arts & Ecology Centre
Cost $5 - Tickets may be purchased online here, via the Eventbrite website **
World Environment Day provides the perfect time to enjoy a guided walk through the Aussie bush at the
Maroochy Bushland Botanic Gardens .
Your well-informed guide has so much to share with you about how and why eucalypti-dominant sclerophyll forests evolved and why they need to be conserved. After an hour or so of learning interesting facts and seeing some fascinating sights, walkers will never look at the unique Aussie bush in quite the same way again.
**MORNING BIRD WALK WITH KEN CROSS
Saturday 12 June, 7.30am to 9.30am
Meet at the entrance to the Arts & Ecology Centre
Cost $12 - Tickets may be purchased online here, via the Eventbrite website **
The Maroochy Bushland Botanic Gardens come alive with the sound of early morning bird calls and if walkers are especially quiet, you will be able to see many of our local
feathered friends , flitting in and out of the bush. With more than one hundred different species having been recorded in the Botanic Gardens, learning to identify the birds that you see, is challenging as well as rewarding.
Ken Cross, an experienced Sunshine Coast birder, will guide walkers on this introductory morning bird walk. Walkers will investigate likely bird habitats throughout the Botanic Gardens, using sight and sound to identify as many species as possible.
What to bring? Binoculars and a field guide are handy accessories, should you be lucky enough to have some at hand, as well as comfy shoes, sunscreen and a hat.
**'WALKING WHILST DRAWING' SENSORY WALK
Sunday 13 June, 10.00am to 11.30am
Meet in the Exhibition Space of the Arts & Ecology Centre
Cost $12 - Tickets may be purchased online here, via the Eventbrite website **
Learn to slow down and immerse yourself in the sights, the sounds and the scents of the bush, whilst creating a personal record of your journey on a mark-making scroll.
Watercolour artist, Libby Derham , will take walkers on the immersive
'Walking whilst Drawing' sensory walk through the Maroochy Bushland Botanic Gardens. After the walk, Libby will share how she turns these scrolls into contemporary watercolour works of art.
Nature creatives will also enjoy the opportunity to visit Libby's Open Studio that is being held in the Arts & Ecology Centre from the 10th to the 17th June.
All materials will be supplied for the workshop.
**'TREES FOR CHANGE' GUIDED WALK

Meet in the Exhibition Space of the Arts & Ecology Centre
Cost $5 - Tickets may be purchased online here, via the Eventbrite website **
If you only had space in your garden to plant
one tree, what tree would you choose? A tree for shade; a tree that would give you fruit for jam, a tree that the local birdlife and fauna would love or a tree that would be an inspiration for artworks?
On the
Trees for Change Guided Walk, walkers will learn about local species of trees ideal for use in the garden to improve natural, social and personal environments. Discover the importance of trees in nature and how by making little changes, we can naturally make a big impact on our environment.
The
Trees for Change Guided Walk is being held during the World Environment Day Festival.
For more World Environment Day Festival events -
Wetland Events and
Coastal Events - please follow the relevant highlighted links.
Choose your
walk , don your walking shoes and fill your water bottle - nothing beats being out in nature during the cooler winter mornings.
