You're invited to join a team of workers to help clean up the island's blocked and weed infested waterways this Saturday at 4pm. The Magnetic Island Creek Rescue aims to clean up five waterways including Butler Creek (Picnic Bay), Kirk Creek (Nelly Bay), Peterson and Alma Creeks (Arcadia) and Wellbeloved Creek (Horseshoe Bay). The work will improve the quality of water in creeks that flow to the Great Barrier Reef, protect creek habitats and increase their natural resilience, and improve the overall beauty of Magnetic Island. Everyone is invited along to the barbecue to learn about what is planned and how they can be involved in restoring some of the natural beauty of our Island.
Date: Saturday, 1 June
Time: 4pm
Meet: At the east end of Henry Lawson Drive (HSB).
Magnetic Island Creek Rescue is a collaboration between Magnetic Island Nature care Association (MINCA), MI community Development Association (MICDA), Geoffrey Bay Coastcare, Olympus Crescent Coastcare and North Queensland Conservation Council. The project is part of an Everyone’s Environment grant project funded by the Department of Environment and Heritage Protection.
